| Course description |
|
Aims: Students will learn forest ecology, forest soil science and forest hydrology from the basics to the advanced level. And then students will understand the theory and research methods about forest environment conservation and management practice. In this course, you can learn forest soil science and forest hydrology mainly. Outline: This course is not only a lecture. We will also discuss from students’ presentation of research topics and methods about these area. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students need to gain knowledge of research topics and methods about these area, and you need to gain ability to apply it to forest environment conservation and management.
