Skills to be acquired in this module
The module qualifies the participants to extend their knowledge acquired in their ecologically oriented Master studies of Landscape Ecology. This comprises advanced knowledge of the flora and vegetation types in Central Europe as well as the acquisition of additional methods in vegetation ecology.
Module contents
Exercise:
In the summer term, the module includes, as a compulsory component (6 CP), a one-week field work in a selected Central European natural landscape focussing on floristic, vegetation ecological, phytosociological (syntaxonomical) aspects as well as on aspects of biocoenology and nature conservation.

Lecture:
Additionally, the lecture "Vegetation Ecology" (3 CP) is offered in the winter term, imparting the fundamentals of development, dynamics, dispersal, site conditions, floristic composition as well as protection of decisive Central European vegetation and biotope types, respectively.
