| ALPFOR research station, Furka Pass 2440 m asl http://www.alpfor.ch/general.shtml | |
| It’s a comprehensive graduate course on alpine plant life in the Swiss central Alps, jointly organized by the University of Basel and the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center (PSC) for graduate students (PhD level) with basic training in plant science. The course covers microclimatology, vegetation ecology, reproduction biology, aspects of biodiversity, soil science, ecophysiology and ecosystem ecology. Morning and evening lectures, field excursions and teamwork on small projects will make this week, in a truly alpine environment, a lifetime experience. The ALPFOR research station is surrounded by a great variety of typical alpine vegetation, covering glacier forfields and late successional alpine grasslands. | |
