Forest Ecosystem Ecology

The course focuses on the fundamental ecological principles underlying the functioning of forested ecosystems. During this course, students will be equipped with in-depth knowledge of the abiotic and biotic drivers of forest ecosystem processes and ecological communities. Here, we will emphasize the spatial and temporal scales at which these drivers act both above-and belowground. We will address terrestrial as well as aquatic environments and how the linkages between these sub-systems affect forest ecosystem processes. We pay special attention to the effects of global changes on the functioning of future forests and the ecosystem services they will provide. The course is centered on boreal forests, but we will also explore and draw examples from forested ecosystems in other parts of the world. The course consists of lectures, individual and group work, and hands-on exercises. We target students with an interest in pursuing an academic career in ecology, soil science, or forest science. The course also provides science-based knowledge relevant and applicable to conservation, forestry industry, and policy and decision-making authorities. The course is offered as an independent course.

Welcome!
Dear students, Welcome to the Forest Ecosystem Ecology course 2020-2021. We are very excited to meet you all on our first introductory session on Monday November 2nd, 2020 at 9.00 am in the lecture room Sälgen at SLU. Be aware that during our in-class teaching we will be following the SLU Covid-19 restrictions. Therefore, please keep at least 1.5 m distance in the class rooms. All class rooms are large enough to fit at least 21 students with the distance of 1.5 m, so were are planning for in-class, on-campus teaching. We are very much looking forward seeing you in person! That said, we also need to be considerate to students who need to join the class online. The reasons why you should join online, instead of in-class, are three-fold: a) you have been travelling abroad within the past 2 weeks and, hence, are in self-quarantine, b) you are feeling sick, and c) you are suspicious you have been in contact with someone with the virus. Therefore all in-class lectures and exercises will be live-broadcasted via Zoom. You can always enter the permanent Zoom room: https://slu-se.zoom.us/j/64075470724 Please, note that this hybrid teaching is not the same as strictly online teaching and therefore it is better to join in-class, rather on Zoom. So, use the online version only if one of the reasons above applies to you. All information regarding the course schedule, lectures, assignments, labs etc. is available (or will soon be available) on the Canvas page, which you all should have got invited to by now. Please, accept the invite and check Canvas for the most updated info. See you all (hopefully) on Monday! Paul and Lenka
