Title |
Advanced Plant Biology: Community Ecology |
Description |
During 4 weeks: 4.-7. semester week
Lecture, seminar and practical.
This advanced course will teach students about key current topics in plant community ecology. Topics covered in depth include plant competition and facilitation, coexistence and niche theory, functional trait approaches, impacts of herbivores and pathogens on plant communities and biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships. Students will also learn about some key techniques in plant community ecology, including how to measure functional traits, how to design experiments, how to parameterise coexistence models and estimate coexistence mechanisms between species and how to statistically analyse data from biodiversity experiments. The course is a mix of lectures, group discussions and practicals. |
