What will I learn?
This short, practical Phytosociology Course shows you how to design relevé plots, collect standardized vegetation and environmental data, and build clean species-by-plot tables. You will apply core diversity metrics, ordination, clustering, and indicator species methods, then translate results into clear maps, management units, and low-impact trail recommendations grounded in real gradients and regional ecology.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design phytosociological surveys: build robust, short-gradient sampling plans.
- Analyze plant communities: apply DCA, NMDS, PCA and key diversity metrics.
- Build species–plot tables: clean, organize and explore relevé data in R.
- Interpret gradients: link soil, climate and disturbance to vegetation patterns.
- Translate results into action: map units, rank trail routes and flag sensitive sites.
