Skills to be acquired in this module | The module imparts an advanced knowledge of plant ecology and stimulates cross-scale thinking. The theoretical conceptions in the Functional Ecology of Plants such as biodiversity research are presented in the form of lectures and seminars. Students are enabled to summarize the current state of a limited area of Functional Ecology with the aid of the relevant primary literature and to present it in the subject-specific publication form in their assignment. Practical and methodical skills are acquired in the accompanying exercises. |
