Phytosociology Course
This Phytosociology Course equips you to design effective relevé plots, gather vegetation and environmental data, and create species-by-plot tables. Apply diversity metrics, ordination, clustering, and indicator species analysis to produce maps, management units, and low-impact trail recommendations based on real ecological gradients. Perfect for biological professionals enhancing field skills, data analysis, and conservation strategies in Sierra Leone contexts.
