ENVS 42.01 Community-Based Natural Resource Management II – Forests, Forestry and Carbon

In this component of the DSP we will explore the ecological, economic, cultural and climate dimensions of forests. Forests are the dominant ecosystem type of northern New England and forestry and the forest products industry are also one of the most important economic sectors in this region. Increasingly, a vital dimension of forest management is forest land use change and its effect on atmospheric CO2. We will investigate these issues through our interactions with people who live and work in the forest, our own field work on forest ecology, and research in the academic literature.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
