===Workshop with Jan Vondrak on lichens=== | ===Workshop with Jan Vondrak on lichens=== | ||
*[[/Lichens workshop]] Nov 12 and Nov 13, 2022 | |||
Dr. Jan Vondrak will do at least two special walks/excursions with us and we will look at the biodiversity of lichens in Weimar/Thuringia and learn about the ecophysiology of lichens in an urban (industrial ruins) and a semi-natural area (i.e. castle and landscape park Belvedere). In the biolab we will examine lichen samples microscopically and perform simple investigations on specific lichen substances. Jan Vondrak will also tell us about his research and about phylogenetic analyses and the special problems of identification and classification of lichens. Importance of lichen growth for air and climate studies, to what extent do these special mixed creatures contribute to the fixation of CO2 and nitrogen oxides and are important components of the biocrust of our world. | Dr. Jan Vondrak will do at least two special walks/excursions with us and we will look at the biodiversity of lichens in Weimar/Thuringia and learn about the ecophysiology of lichens in an urban (industrial ruins) and a semi-natural area (i.e. castle and landscape park Belvedere).
