Phytosociology Course
This Phytosociology Course equips you with essential techniques for designing sampling plots, collecting standardized vegetation data, building species tables, applying diversity metrics and multivariate analyses like DCA, NMDS, and PCA, interpreting environmental gradients, and translating findings into actionable maps, management units, and sustainable trail recommendations. Perfect for biologists and conservationists aiming to strengthen field methods and make evidence-based decisions grounded in regional ecology.

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills in phytosociology: design relevé plots, gather vegetation and environmental data, create species-by-plot tables. Apply diversity metrics, ordination, clustering, and indicator species analysis, then produce maps, management units, and low-impact trail recommendations based on real ecological gradients.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design phytosociological surveys with robust, short-gradient sampling plans.
