Where ENV-3473 counts
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course integrates biological principles of tree growth and regeneration (silvics) with the application of this knowledge to forest management (silviculture). Silvics is defined as biological life histories and environmental requirement of forest trees. Silviculture is the theory and practice of influencing forest regeneration, species composition, and growth to accomplish a variety of resource management objectives. Silvicultural practices include coverage of even-aged and uneven-aged management, and ecological reforestation principles and techniques.
