Courses

The 7th International Plant Functional Traits Course (PFTC) will be held on 1-19 December 2023, at the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. PFTCs offer hands-on training in applications of plant functional trait ecology within a real-life field research project setting. During this course, students will collect and explore plant functional trait data in the field and use trait-based approaches within community and ecosystem ecology. Following the course, students will have opportunities to participate in, or lead publications using the data.
