Teaching Methodologies
Lectures are theoretical/practical including a set of practical works (8) that takes place over the course of 13 weeks of lectures; and also carries out field work
Learning Results
The objectives of the curricular unit result in the acquisition of 4 fundamental skills:
1. Possesses knowledge that allow to characterize the natural, semi-natural and artificial forest, for its composition, structure and dynamics of evolution, recognizing its multi-functionality
2. Relates the aspects of eco-physiology to the productivity of plants and to the forestry practiced, as a determinant of sustainable management of forest systems;
3. Possesses knowledge and problem-solving capacity in forest ecosystems, in order to ensure its preservation, maintenance, protection or use, integrating concepts of DFC;
4. Know the dynamics and the forms of intervention in forest systems to meet management objectives
Program
The syllabus for the acquisition of the skills described are divided into two learning modules: module 1-forestry: forestry interventions and characterization in forest stands; Module 2-forestry systems applied to stands and other types of forestry.
