EVSC 4100 - Management of Forest Ecosystems

An ecosystem course which treats the ecology of forests and consequences of forest processes in natural and managed systems. The class emphasizes the “pattern and process” concept that is the central theme in modern vegetation sciences at increasing scales: from form and function of leaves and other parts of trees through population, community and landscape ecology to the role of forests in the global climate and carbon-cycling. Pre-requisites: EVSC 3200, 3400, or 3500 recommended.
