Biology: Mosses, Lichens, Fungi - Biodiversity and Conservation, 15.0 ECTS credits
The organism groups formerly known as Cryptogams - mosses, liverworts, lichen and fungi - are particularly diverse in Scandinavia. They are common and often dominant in a wide range of natural habitats. Therefore, Cryptogams have received much attention in practical conservation work during recent years. For example, so called signal species have been intensively used to identify key habitats , i.e. especially valuable sites, usually with a long continuity and a high biodiversity.
The course covers terrestrial Cryptogams, i.e. mosses, liverworts, lichen, fungi, terrestrial algae and charophyte algae. A major focus of the course is to study plant material directly in the field.
