Part 1 - Theoretic starter: Basice of macrophyte-surveys
Block/digital: 16-18h (4 to 6 p.m)
Introduction to macrophyte matter:
Mai: Mi 5.5. / Mo 10.5. / Mi 12.5. /Mo 17.5.
Part 2 - field side: Application of macrophyte survey
This activity runs along the water bodies (Basin of Vienna), and needs clear weather (no precipitation, abundant sunlight).
This field word is possible under CORONA-conditions following the regulation (FFP2 masks where needed - all-time respecting strict distance rules, but in the open areas).
Travel to an from th survey sites: public or private transport (e.g. bicycle, bus, train). Detail, to be discussed with students, after communication with them, to adapt to the prevalent weather conditions.
Equipment: regarding the weather, even waterproof cover; rubber boots/sports
shoes/sun protection. For making notes: clipbpard, A-4-paper, chequered, pencil (no ballpen), plastic cover (rain shower). GPS? Mobile phone (photos/part of the water body/timer/communication). For working near the water always be careful near the bank, even e.g. regarding loss of material (mobile) etc.
