Title |
Journal club: Plant diversity |
Description |
1 h seminar
For Master students only!
This is a master course on the causes and consequences of plant biodiversity. The course covers all aspects of biodiversity, including genetic, species, phylogenetic and functional diversity. Short lectures will give introductions to the different topics. For the major part, students will have to read, present and discuss the literature, which includes book chapters, classical papers as well as examples from the recent literature. These papers cover conceptual or theoretical approaches to the study of biodiversity, reviews of existing knowledge, famous experiments, or novel and innovative methodologies. We discuss a range of topics in community ecology including coexistence, trophic interactions and biodiversity-ecosystem functioning, and we also discuss the importance of biodiversity for sustainability and read and discuss at least two papers related to ecosystem services and global change per semester. |
