Phytobenthos: For a sound education in the field of underwater flora
The assessment of watercourses, but also of small standing bodies of water such as ponds or lakeshores, is an extremely important task for the conservation of biodiversity. As many biocomponents such as macrophytes and phytobenthos are exposed to constantly changing indirect influences such as land use, morphology and hydrology, it is important to examine these criteria, as well as the runoff and the construction of banks and beds, for their ecological disturbance effects. Not all macrophytes, such as algae, diatoms, mosses or lichens, react negatively to environmental changes in the same way, as can be seen, for example, in rheophilic mosses, i.e. those mosses that are bound to flowing waters, which in most cases even benefit from engineering structures, in contrast to vascular macrophytes, which find more difficult living conditions.
In order to be able to comprehensively identify and analyze the biological status of water bodies, for example to develop suitable species protection programs, you will learn sound methods for species identification, water body assessment and bioindication in the CAS in Phytobenthos - Aquatic Plants and Algae certificate course. The Certificate of Advanced Studies is divided into three modules, bioindication, species knowledge and the CAS final thesis, and covers the FOEN module level concept, which includes diatoms, macrophytes, chemistry, hydrology, ecomorphology and external aspects, as well as the IBEM method, the ecology and systematics of diatoms, algae and macrophytes, and an in-depth study of lichens and mosses.
The CAS in Phytobenthos is primarily aimed at people who are professionally involved in water protection, species protection, nature conservation, water monitoring and aquatic ecology, as well as interested private individuals. However, a prerequisite is an in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of water as well as a university degree or comparable training with sufficient professional experience. Ask the relevant universities to send you comprehensive training documents for your in-service training in the field of phytobenthos and find out all the important details, objectives and requirements for the certificate course quickly and without obligation.
