-
Discussion of ecological and biological characters relevant for the growth and competitive performance of species from agricultural habitat types. Clarification of interactions between species specific characters and site conditions.
Suggestions for the management of the species from arable fields, meadows, pastures, abandoned, ruderal or protected areas.
- Previous knowledge expected
-
Basic knowledge about morphology, anatomy, ecology and systematics of plants are essential. Experience with the terminology in site ecology (soil, climate) and land use techniques helps a lot following the talks.
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Ability to apply of knowledge about ecology and biology of the plants in the agricultural landscape in the context of land use. Understanding the interaction of species specific character sets and systemic influences (soil, climate, seasonality, competitors, global change effects. Getting used to the options of manipulating plants from different agricultural habitat types positively or negatively (promotion or control).
