What Will I Learn?
Gain practical skills in phytosociology: design relevé plots, gather standardised vegetation and environmental data, create species-by-plot tables. Apply diversity metrics, ordination, clustering, and indicator species analysis, then produce maps, management units, and eco-friendly trail recommendations based on actual gradients and local ecology.
