Vorlesung/Übung: Quantitative Methods in Community Ecology

The pre meeting to determinate module participation will be in the first semester week on October 13th at 10 am in Münterstr. 1

The course will be organized as a mixed applied course, which consists of short introduction lectures, followed by exercises with the statistic environment R. You need to bring your own laptop to the classroom and install R and RStudio.

On the first regular lecture time on Friday, October 17th  we will do a short excursion to a grassland site near Greifswald (Wackerow) to introduce you to the grassland data set that we use during the course. We will meet at the pedestrian bridge over the Ryck in Wackerow at 10 am.
