Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The excursion will be held in the eastern part of Austria. The aim is to give an overview of flora and vegetation primarily of habitats below the timber line and their biogeographic relationships and history, for instance with respect to Pleistocene refugia. Many of the visited habitats and the presented species are of nature conservation concern, accordingly such aspects will be covered as well.
Assessment and permitted materials
Eight open book exams (one per excursion day) online via Moodle (each open for 72 hours). Of those 8 exams, 2 can be cancelled (used as void; these also account for possible absences due to, for instance, time conflict or illness) and thus do not contribute to the final score.
Permitted material: essentially everything (field notes, specific literature, internet resources)
