Silviculture, Forest Management Planning and Forest Health

In this course you will learn about standdynamics in evenaged and unevenaged stands, effect of silvicultural measures on growth and developement of trees and stands and how these measures can be designed to achieve certain goals. Exercises and excursions in the field will give you knowledge and skills in natural regeneration, plant production in nurseries, single-tree selection, stand inventory, assessment of forest damage, etc. During the course you will also complete a forest management plan for a small forest estate. This work includes meeting with the forest owner, field inventory, analysis of the forest condition, and suggestion for the management for the coming 10 years. You will during the course develop your knowledge and skills in forest damage assessment and damage agents, both biotic (insects, fungi, wildlife) and abiotic (wind, snow, fire, etc.), and how they can be affected by silviculture and forest management planning.
