| The course is designed to help students to familiarize students with essential concepts, terminology, and issues in forest science and forest ecosystem management, and further to develop a problem-solving ability by integrating across disciplines and at various scales. It emphasized specifically on ecological processes, function and value of forests, linkages between forests and wildlife, sustainability and adaptive management of forests, and alternative management techniques and their potential effects on habitat, diversity and productivity. Information in the text, assigned readings, class presentations, and field trips will enhance students to conduct extensive and creative discussions. |
