Why Do We Study Plants?

To complement the lecture programme, field trips have been organized to translate knowledge into practice. These include a guided tour of the University Botanical Garden in Padua and a visit to the Lucio Susmel Alpine Environment Study Centre in San Vito di Cadore, featuring forest experimental site explorations
