| Abstract | In this practical, students get to know important field and laboratory methods of forest and landscape research as well as landscape management. They apply these methods in the context of small projects. The practical consists of three parts: Ecology (both forest and landscape), Site Classification (soil science & phytosociology), and Land Management. |
| Learning objective | Students - know the most important methods of field research in selected branches of forest and landscape science - can apply these methods independently on the context of a project - are in the position to interpret data from field sampling correctly, and can use them to answer applied research questions |
| Prerequisites / Notice | For this practical, it is recommended that students have some knowledge in the following subjects (besides the core courses of the specialization "Wald und Landschaft"): - Geographic Information Systems (elective course, 5th semester) - Site classification (elective course "Site classification and plant communities", 6th semester) - Knowledge of forest soils (elective course "Ökologie von Waldböden", 6th semester) - Dendrology and Woody Plants of Central Europe (elective courses) - Systematic botany (e.g. biodiversity excursions, plant part, 2th semester) |
