Course Details
• Advanced Plant Community Analysis: Techniques for quantifying and understanding plant community structure and function, including gradient analysis, multivariate methods, and community-level trait-based approaches.
• Plant Community Dynamics: The processes that shape plant communities over time, including disturbance, succession, and colonization.
• Plant-Soil Interactions: The complex relationships between plants and soils, including nutrient cycling, mycorrhizal associations, and soil biogeochemistry.
• Plant Community Restoration: The principles and practices of restoring degraded plant communities, including ecological site assessment, seed collection and propagation, and monitoring and adaptive management.
