What will I learn?
Gain practical skills in phytosociology: design relevé plots, gather standardized vegetation and environmental data, create species-by-plot tables, apply diversity metrics, ordination, clustering, and indicator species analysis, and produce maps, management units, and low-impact trail recommendations based on regional ecology and real gradients.
