Metodi didattici - Lezioni frontali tradizionali, supportate da immagini PPT, accompagnate
da didattica interattiva.
- Esercitazioni per la determinazione di specie vegetali.
- Visite in campo con esercitazioni sul monitoraggio delle specie aliene
invasive.
- Laboratorio di cartografia con QGIS - Educational objectives
- The course will focus on the Natura 2000 network and the plant species
of the Umbria region. At the end of the course, students will acquire the
keys to reading and interpreting the landscape. They will know the
European regulations for protecting and conserving species and habitats.
They will develop the essential skills to organize a monitoring plan
critically. Finally, students will increase their cartographic skills using the
open-source Qgis. - Prerequisites
- There are no prerequisites to take the course.
- Teaching methods
- - Traditional lectures, supported by PPT images, accompanied by
interactive teaching.
- Laboratory activity focused on the determination of plant species.
- Field work focused on the monitoring of invasive alien species.
-Lab-based Course on QGIS - Other information

- Learning verification modality
- Final oral exam: Students will have to answer questions on the topics
covered during the course and field activities. - Extended program
