- perform hydrobiological sampling and determine main organisms
- perform soil biota sampling and determine main organisms
- describe soil profile and interpret soil probe
- perform phytocaenological and identify main plant species
- discuss various aspects of fiel methods
Syllabus
  • The first day: arrival, accomodation, introduction of the course plan, introduction of observatory and its measurements
  • Next days: thematically oriented blocks of 3 general topics: soil, water and air
