Initial meeting on 8th March (digital)
The excursions will be restricted to Vienna and adjacent areas allowing rather short travel times, achievable via using exclusively public transport, from and to our destinations. We will profit from the position of Vienna at a biogeographic crossroad.

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.
