Theses

The Institute of Landscape and Plant Ecology is continuously offering projects for BSc and MSc theses. These projects are usually closely integrated into our ongoing research - please have a look at our current projects and our recent publications to make yourself familiar with our work.

At the beginning of every winter semester we have an informative meeting at the insitute where possible topics for theses are presented. For details please contact Prof. Schmieder.

Topics for Bachelor- and Master Theses of department Plant Ecology you will find here.
