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.Field trip (29Oct)
