Examensarbete eller forskningspraktik om molnskogar i Ecuador

Botaniska data från olika livsformer och taxonomiska grupper insamlades vid ett flertal lokaler på Ecuadors kust under perioden 1995-1998. Genom samarbete med institutioner och studenter i Quito och Quevedo är målsättningen att nu följa upp dessa undersökningar och se förändringar i floran under de senaste 25 åren. De förväntade förändringarna kan vara knutna till skogens egen dynamik (som för tropisk skog fortfarande är mycket dåligt känd) och till klimatförändringar. Projektet omfattar också en stor grad av botanisk utforskning i och med att floran fortfarande är dåligt känd och det finns även stort utrymme för individuellt anpassade projekt, i samarbete med studenter från Ecuador, beroende på eget intresse.
