Student scientific botany group "Green plant"

Green Plant

The main directions of science work

· Geobotanical and floristic research

· Research of rare plants populations

· Research of morphological and anatomical features of plants

· Research on productivity of nature meadows
· Research on freshwater plant species and vegetation

Practical skills

The members of the “Green Plant” have research on phytodiversity and vegetation of different regions of Ukraine. During group meetings, the members receive practical skills of science research of rare plants populations, morphological and anatomical features of plants and productivity of plant communities. At the same time the group members assimilate the scientific terminology in English, which provide them to take a part in scientific conferences and use a new knowledge in the English language for personal communication with English speaking scientists.

Science researches

The students provide a field and lab works and analyze the data of the received materials. Moreover they have an activity in scientific research topics of the botany department. Received knowledge has used by the members of the “Green Plant” as background for arrangement of their graduation bachelor and magister works.

As a good tradition, the members of the “Green Plant” have activity on different conferences, symposiums, workshops etc.
