Discover how the rock beneath the surface lays the foundations for entire landscapes, which botanical survivalists thrive on this basis, how fungi drive nutrient cycles, and how closely the animal world is interwoven with these networks.
From the rugged peaks of the Alps to the sun-drenched Mediterranean region – explore the ecological diversity of our continent.
We – Dale Forbes (author of the newly published book *Habitats of Europe*), Thomas Gatt (GeoKlimaLab Tirol, Faculty of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Innsbruck), Ramona Roach (Green School, Botanical Garden and Institute of Botany, University of Innsbruck) and Eberhard Steiner (biologist & mycologist) will share the fascinating stories behind the wilderness right on our doorstep and bring to life the invisible connections between the underground world and the realms of plants, animals and fungi!
