| METHODS AND TECHNIQUES IN VEGETATION ECOLOGY
(objectives)
MAJOR GOALS OF THIS COURSE ARE THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE MAIN METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR THE STUDY OF VEGETATION:
- ACQUIRE THE MASTERY OF THE STUDY METHODS OF VEGETATION;
- INCREASE THE ABILITY TO INTERPRETING THE NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL PHENOMENA WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE MECHANISMS OF TRANSFORMATION OF PLANT LANDSCAPES;
- DEVELOP THE CAPACITY TO APPLICATION OF MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR MONITORING OF THE PLANT COMMUNITIES FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PURPOSES;
- INCREASE THE POSSIBILITIES OF INTERPRETATION OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES IN THE FIELDS OF PLANT ECOLOGY, GEOBOTANY AND APPLIED ECOLOGY.
