Centre of Excellence EcolChange continues with open seminars. The next seminar will be held in University of Tartu, in Department of Botany. Prof. David Gowing: "British floodplain meadows and the hydrological niche" Wednesday, 11. October 2016 at 16:15In Tartu, Lai st 40-218 (Vaga auditorium). All are welcomed!
Floodplain meadows contain one of the most diverse plant assemblages in Britain.The soil-hydrology of these meadows has been studied to quantify the water-regime tolerances of individual species and to determine whether they display niche segregation, which might help to explain the co-existence of so many species.
Professor David Gowing is based at Open University, United Kingdom.He will act as the opponent at the PhD defense of Jaak-Albert Metsoja on October 12, 2016.
