3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and discussion and three hours of laboratory. Introduction to plant tissue culture for biotechnology research and as a propagation method. Emphasis will be on learning laboratory instrumentation and techniques for establishing cell cultures, producing transgenic cell lines, and regenerating whole plants. In addition to the scheduled lab exercises, an independent micropropagation or transformation project will be required. Fall. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for both BTC 426 and FOR/EFB 626.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. The productivity of stands of trees as well as aggregations of agricultural and forest tree crops in tropical and temperate agroforestry systems are examined from an ecophysiological perspective with an emphasis upon species and species-site interactions. Quantitative techniques and local agroforestry field trips are integrated with lecture material. Critically analyze ecological factors as the basis for sound agroforestry as well as plantation management. Fall, odd years. Prerequisite: FOR 332 or FOR 323 or equivalent. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 430 and FOR 630.
-
3.00 Credits
One hour of lecture, one hour of recitation, four hours of field and laboratory study of forest soils, emphasizing plant-soil relationships. Stress on quantification of plant-soil diagnostic techniques and their interpretation. Spring (odd years). Prerequisite: FOR 446. Note: Background in physical and biological sciences recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and discussion per week. Introduction to watershed ecology and stream ecosystems. Interactions and linkages among upland, riparian and stream processes. Management and restoration associated with multiple uses of forest and range lands. Explore influences of spatial and temporal scale, watershed and network position, disturbance regimes, and global change. Students will apply course concepts to an independent research project. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 442 and FOR 642.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week and occasional field trips. Fundamental hydrological processes relevant to forested watersheds, including the occurrence, distribution and movement of water through the hydrologic cycle as precipitation, evapotranspiration and runoff. The focus will be on scientific hydrology, with critical examination of research techniques as applied to the study of forested catchments. Students will conceptualize, execute, interpret, and synthesize results from hydrologic investigations. Linkages to biogeochemistry will also be explored. Students are expected to develop detailed field investigations. Fall. Prerequisite: FOR 540 or equivalent, with permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 443 and FOR 643.
-
2.00 Credits
One hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Course will provide a hands-on learning experience in current instrument and measuring techniques in hydrology, meteorology and hydrogeology, necessary for research in the environmental sciences. The objective will be to explore the principles that govern the use of sensors and the operation of data acquisition systems. Spring. Prerequisite: FOR 643. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 445 and FOR 645.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. General principles of genetics as applied to conservation and utilization of genetic diversity of forest tree species. Topics include selection of elite trees, pollen testing, tissue culture and seed propagation, fieldtest design, and germplasm conservation and utilization. An independent research problem will be undertaken by the student. Spring. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 455 and FOR 655.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory, and one hour of independent study per week. Understanding and managing vegetation using principles and practices of Integrated Pest Management. Variety of problem plants (pests or weeds) are considered, including trees, in the context of terrestrial, non-crop ecosystems: natural areas; cultural landscapes and historic sites; and recreational trail, roadside, railroad, pipeline and powerline corridors. Individual research and management projects. Regular field trips and labs. Spring. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 460 and FOR 660
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. Analysis and application of political, policy formation, and policy administration theories to natural resources. Examination of drivers of U.S. natural resources policies. Analysis of private lands, public lands, forest, wildlife, endangered species, water, fire, and certification policies. Focus is on U.S. natural resources policies. Spring. Prerequisite: graduate standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. An introductory course in resource and environmental economics. Apply economic theories and models to analyze decisions concerning the use of forest, marine, and water resources and to analyze policy tools for mitigating pollution created as a result of production and consumption. Fall. Prerequisite: A course in economics.
