Forest ecosystem provides provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services. In this class, the interrelationship between forest ecosystem and anthropogenic disturbances will be introduced. This class focuses on the importance of forest conservation and the appropriate management by understanding potential human impact (i.e., wildfire, drought, and fertilization). Students can learn about basic remote sensing and GIS techniques for forest monitoring. Students will be expected to understand the importance and specific solutions of forest resource management through learning about various perspectives and knowledge regarding forest ecological characteristics. In particular, the distinction between natural and anthropogenic factors and the application to a sustainable development of forest could be made by learning the mechanism of forest productivity and disturbance.
