Woodlands support a vast variety of plants and animals, forming a complex web of life. Surveys show distinct layers within woodlands, each with its own community of organisms. These layers include the subsoil, ground layer, shrub layer, and upper tree canopy, with some species living in one layer and others moving between levels. This course examines the unique habitats at each level, showcasing examples of the biodiversity in woodlands of all ages. It also provides practical guidance on fostering and maintaining biodiversity, whether in urban gardens or larger woodland areas.

This class will take place on QUB campus
