BIO 275 - Comparative Forestry (4 semester hours) Semester Hours: 4
This course focuses on studies of forests and forest management techniques via extensive field work. Lakeland’s Grether Woods and trees on Lakeland’s campus are the initial focus with eventual, field-based comparisons to other local, state, and national forests in the Upper Midwest. Field lecturers and naturalists provide expertise at their particular forest. Students sample and assess both biotic and abiotic factors important to structuring forest ecosystems. Field work centers on quantifying tree species diversity, relative abundance, and species interactions. Additionally, students are introduced to a variety of forest management practices including those related to the production of wood and paper products.
