Learning outcomes

Aim of this course is to introduce the students into Alpine and Mountainous Botany in broader context. Phenomena related to unique mountainous biotopes, such as specific climate, endemicity & relictism, evolution will be discussed. Species diversity of particular mountain regions will be presented; with special emphasis on the species diversity of European mountain ranges.
At the end of the course the student is expected to: - define basic terms and principles in Alpine Botany - describe major adaptations of mountainous (alpine) plants - explain major factors (phenomena) involved in specific evolution of Alpine Biotopes and Alpine plant species diversity - describe species diversity of major mountain ranges in Europe - discuss the impact of Global climate change on Alpine Flora and Biotopes.
