Some study sites are located at heights of over 30 meters, accessed via a professionally developed system of winches, ladders and platforms, easing physical (and mental?) access.   <o:p></o:p> -------------------------<o:p></o:p> Epiphytic and Lithic Plant Communities of Coastal Temperate Rainforests (Special Topics)<o:p></o:p> (UVic MRNE 402 P80 TT# 24465; UC MRSC 501.36) 3 weeks, 5 July – 23 July This course will examine form, function and conservation of biologically diverse epiphytic and lithic lower plants (algae, bryophytes, ferns and fungi), prominent in coastal rainforest communities. Laboratory studies will emphasize current methods of identification (taxonomic, chemical, molecular), while field studies, conducted on and around canopy platforms and marine cliffs, will stress ecological importance. Independent projects will provide further opportunity for students to explore aspects of their unique ecology in the Barkley Sound region. <o:p></o:p> PREREQUISITES: Introductory courses in ecology, botany or permission of instructor.
