NATRS 493 - Advanced Silviculture

Credits: 5
Students learn, through classroom and field studies, woody plant interactions with environmental stresses including changes to stand structure caused by humans, nature or time and selection using genetic principles for improved growth. Students participate in hands-on seedling production methods while applying the theory and practice of controlling forest establishment, composition, and growth. Students assess fundamentals of forest stand development and dynamics and use critical thinking to propose forest stewardship techniques to satisfy a range of possible objectives (biological, economic, and social).

Prerequisite: ENGL 128 , NATRS 293  or equivalent, and NATRS 180  or concurrent enrollment in MATH& 146 ; Concurrent enrollment in NATRS 418 ; and instructor’s permission.
