Workshop

Workshop

Landscape Features (LF) – such as hedgerows, flower strips, ponds, tree patches, and terraces – are key elements of agricultural landscapes that mediate biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and land-use intensity. As semi-natural structures in human-dominated systems, they contribute to habitat provision, ecosystem service delivery, and landscape connectivity. In the context of biodiversity...

Workshop

This workshop invites you to explore how metabarcoding can be used in your biodiversity research and provide new insights into biodiversity patterns and processes. It introduces the iBarc Support Unit and its services, spanning project planning, laboratory workflows, and bioinformatics across different taxonomic groups.
The first 45 minutes feature short talks, including an overview of iBarc...
