Forests are critical to the survival of humans and their fauna. Tropical and temperate forests, by their structure and composition, contain extraordinarily high biological diversity and provide critical ecosystem services with complex interactions with humans. This course will examine the structure, function, and diversity of tropical and temperate forests, with an emphasis on the ecological processes that shape plant and animal communities within these unique and diverse ecosystems. The class will examine major threats to the global forests and measures that may be put in place to allow for their recovery post disturbance. The course will be delivered though lectures, student-led discussions and debates and other in-class activities. |
