Field Trip (29Oct)

5 Novembro 2024, 08:15 Patricia Maria Rodriguez Gonzalez

Substituted by Field trip 29 October (8:00–18:00)

·         Visit to Natural habitats: wetland forest 91E0

·         Presentation of Environmental Program for Mata da Machada by the Municipality

·         Guided visit to Vegetation Management and Restoration Sites by representatives of Municipality of Barreiro (Prescribed fire, Biological control, Plantation).

·         Field Sampling of vegetation in two riparian sites subject to different management actions, including: floristic inventory, vertical structure, indicators on invasive species management response, recruitment sampling, geomorphic characterization, description of restoration effects, plant samples collection for further identification

Press collected plants, collect material, and plants to press by different student groups. Each student group puts their labelled plants to dry and press and further identify.

Methods of Vegetation sampling and preparation of Field trip

22 Outubro 2024, 08:15 Patricia Maria Rodriguez Gonzalez

1. FIELD SAMPLING OF VEGETATION
• Ecological variability and Vegetation patterns
• Field collection of vegetation data
2. THE CASE STUDY SITE: Ribeira de Vale do Zebro (Vale do Zebro River Basin)
• Study area description / maps and habitats present
• Field sampling strategy (plots distribution etc)
• Field sheets
• List and pics of common species
• Field Logistics
