What will I learn?
Gain practical skills in phytosociology to design relevé plots, gather standardised vegetation and environmental data, create species-by-plot tables, apply diversity metrics, ordination, clustering, and indicator species analysis, and convert findings into maps, management zones, and eco-friendly trail suggestions based on local gradients and ecology.
