MScForestEcologyandManagement(I) This course focuses on the sustainable management

• f forests and other natural resources.

FacultyofForestandEnvironmentalSciences

MScForestEcologyandManagement(II) Based on a sound understanding of fundamental ecosystem characteristics and processes, students learn

to assess to manage and to monitor

forests and other natural resources according to the principles of ecosystem management.

FacultyofForestandEnvironmentalSciences

MScForestEcologyandManagement(III) Thestudyprogrammecomprises:

an understanding and analysis of the direct and

indirect effects of mankind on forests and other terrestrial ecosystems,

an understanding of ecological and

environmental processes at various levels: cells, individuals, populations, ecosystems, landscapes and global systems, and

the provision of methodological knowledge and

skills to design and evaluate management and accompanying research plans.
