300045 EX Flora and fauna of the March river flood plains (2008S)

Four one day excursions end of March, in May, June and October focus on seasonal changes in flora and fauna in a river flood plain. These changes can be demonstrated particularly well in the March area as - in addition to climatic alterations - hydrology varies strikingly according to seasonal fluctuations in water level. The emphasis lies on a detailed analysis of a small number of organisms rather than on a general overview. This exemplary approach gives even unexperienced biologist the opportunity to benefit from the course.
