Description

This course is intended to provide students with the fundamental knowledge of the interactions between human and forest ecosystems. It examines current forestry practices and studies new alternatives in forest resources management based on our growing knowledge of the natural dynamics of these ecosystems. The concepts underlying forest sustainability and forest conservation in a changing world are discussed. Using the boreal forest as an example, students will acquire an understanding of natural ecosystem dynamics and of proposed alternatives in forestry practices. The effects of global climate change and increasing human pressure on our forests are also examined.
