In this class, I will talk how Japanese people have altered natural vegetation for agriculture and forestry, and how sustainable use of natural resources have maintained biodiversity of agricultural landscapes in Japan. In addition, we will visit the Sengen-yama hill near the TUAT campus, where we can observe the semi-natural vegetation originated from farm woodland. ・There is a possibility of changing to online lectures. |

・Understanding of the relationship between vegetation and production activity of human. ・Understanding of the reason why the traditional agricultural land use contributes biodiversity conservation. |
