-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Introduction to principles of ecology as they relate to forest ecosystems. Autecology and tree physiology from a whole plant perspective. Synecology presented from an applied perspective including the role of human activities and management interventions on ecosystem function from local to global levels. Fall. Prerequisite: EFB 226 (General Botany).
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. Applying economic tools and models to natural resource management decisions. Identifying and defining the economic information necessary to help in making better business decisions with respect to managing natural resources. Spring. Prerequisite: FOR 207 or equivalent. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 333 and FOR 533.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. The practice of silviculture in managing stands to serve various landowner interests. Field trips and exercises provide opportunities to see examples of silvicultural methods under different management scenarios, and to learn and practice techniques for analyzing forest stands and developing prescriptions for their treatment. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 334 and FOR 534.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. This is a shared resource course with FOR 538. An introduction to the atmospheric physical processes important to understanding weather and weather forecasting at the surface of the earth and macro-, synoptic-, meso-, and micro-climates. The emphasis is on synoptic and micro scale phenomena. Students will learn how to access weather data on the Internet and use the data to forecast weather. At the microscale, emphasis is on describing conditions and projecting change. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 338 and FOR 538.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. Basic principles of physical hydrology, including the movement of water through hydrologic reservoirs on global and watershed scales, measurement and quantification of hydrological data, runoff generation processes and water quality in the natural environment. Course content includes precipitation, evapotranspiration, streamflow generation, and fundamentals of groundwater flow. Fall. Prerequisites or Co-requisites: Soils and/or Introductory Geology. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 340 and FOR 540.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Introduction to the fundamentals of soil science in the context of soil as an ecosystem component. Fall. Prerequisite or Co-requisite: 1 semester of Introductory Chemistry. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 345 and FOR 545.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. An application of raster Geographic Information System technology to the solution of spatial problems in the fields of planning, forest management, landscape architecture, biology, ecology, and engineering. Students learn how to obtain raster geographic data, convert it to different spatial coordinates, carry out series of spatial overlay analyses, produce effective maps, and write effective reports. Spring. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 356 and FOR 556.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. This course teaches the application of vector Geographic Information System technology to the solution of spatial problems and the analysis of spatial data in the fields of planning, forest management, landscape architecture, biology, ecology, and engineering. Students will learn how to obtain geographic data, convert it to different spatial coordinates, carry out spatial queries and overlay analyses, produce effective maps, and write effective reports. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 357 and FOR 557.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. This course focuses on the basic theories, concepts, principles and functions of modern management and administration, with an emphasis on the four functions of management: leading, planning, organizing, controlling. The four functions of management are applied to the public and private sectors, as well as for profit and not-for-profit organizations. Environmental management systems, corporate ethics and social responsibility and systematic problem solving are among the principal topics emphasized. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 360 and FOR 560.
