The week-long residential course is based at the university’s field station in the far north of Scotland. The location is stunning and, for many students, a new experience of unfamiliar plant communities.
You are introduced to representatives of the local flora. We teach skills in recognising key features of plant species.
You are encouraged to consider the reasons why and where plant species are found within the northern landscape.
You will consider ways in which plants’ distributions and associations can be sampled.
Assessments are a plant ID test (50%) and making an identification key (50%).
