| Course description |
|
The course concentrates on the identification, classification, nomenclature, uses and characteristic habitats of major tree and shrub. You will study how to use different characteristics such as leaf shape, arrangement, bark texture, and habitat to identify trees and other plant species. To expose students to morphological, ecological and phenological traits useful in field identification of woody plants. To introduce some basic characteristics of forest ecosystems. Lectures provide background information essential to developing identification skills and laboratory exercises provide hands-on application of identification skills and an opportunity to practice plant identification. |
| Expected Learning |
|
The standard of this lecture is to understand classification from the birth of trees, a basic physiology of the trees and a photosynthetic process. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma policy: See the curriculum maps. https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ |
