Botany and Dendrology

nothing to add

1. Formal lectures limited to key/structural topics

2. Specialized search, by the students, orientated by the teacher about particular topics

3. Hands-on laboratory sessions and field studies

4. Students presentations and discussion of search results/topics explored

5. Field trips to observe, colect and identifiy plant species.

a) To identify the structure and internal organization of vegetal bodies relating them with the function of different organs;
b) To know how to identify plant species (full plants or small parts), based on morphological characteristics, using different resources such as dichotomous keys, Floras, e-Floras, Field guides, herbarium material, etc.
c) To recognize/know native plant species with more interest in Portugal, including mainly trees and shrubs but also some herbaceous species with conservation and forestry interests;

d) Know the alien species with greater interest in forest and natural spaces (including cultivated and invasive species);
e) To develop curiosity for plant world

a) Plant histology and anatomy: plant tissues and its characterization; primary and secondary growth; anatomy of roots, stems and leaves, and its relationship with phisiology, on main taxonomical groups;

b) Morphology of root, stem, leaf, inflorescence, flower and fruit;

c) Classification, systematics and taxonomy principles; morphologivsl caraterization of major taxonomical groups;

d) Caracterization (taxonomy; morphology; comparisons/ contrasts to other species with which the plant may be easily confused; distribution; interest and utilization) of native, exotic and/or invasive plant species with more interest in natural and cultivated areas in Portugal, including species of: Adoxaceae, Altingiaceae, Anacardiaceae, Betulaceae, Cistaceae, Cupressaceae, Ericaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Ginkgoaceae, Juglandaceae, Lauraceae, Magnoliaceae, Malvaceae, Moraceae, Myrtaceae, Oleaceae, Pinaceae, Pittosporaceae, Platanaceae, Rosaceae, Salicaceae, Taxaceae and Ulmaceae, etc.
