Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is held in the geologically and thus floristically very rich regions of the Carnic Alps (border Austria/Italy) and in the Hohe Tauern south of Mt. Grossglockner. We will deal with alpine biosystems and their characteristic flora, vegetation and abiotic factors.Estimated costs: ca. 450 Euro.
Assessment and permitted materials
Two interim tests (one per each half of the excursion) 5 points each and one test on knowledge of (i.e., recognizing) important taxa with 10 points, thus totaling 20 points.
For all tests, which may be held in the field, students can use their field notes.
