Biology: Biological Monitoring

<p>BIOR39</p><p>The main objective of this course is that you learn to optimise time in the field in order to obtain maximum information about the conditions and status of the natural environment. Monitoring of nature is based on that the investigator knows what change is expected and can construct a programme, including collection of data and material, which can detect a particular change. You may also do a general documentation of the area/environment nature if you don’t know the expected change. In this course, general methods in monitoring programmes and documentations are treated in lectures and seminars. You will asses old inventories and learn how to use different maps and in what respects these differ. In addition, various specific methods for inventory of different organisms are treated in lectures and field exercises.</p>
