Course Description

Learn to identify key plant species which help to define plant communities, from the mountains to the coast.  You will develop a broad knowledge of plant species which will enable an understanding of key habitats in the UK and how different habitat classifications are used (e.g. Phase 1, NVC). We will also consider how species and habitat types relate to soils, climate and land management, with a focus upon changing climate, shifting species and habitat distributions and conservation actions.
