Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
I laureati magistrali in SFA (acronimo del titolo italiano) hanno conoscenze e capacita di comprensione che estendono quelle tipicamente associate ai corsi di primo ciclo dedicati alla conoscenza delle risorse ambientali e delle risorse forestali.
Queste conoscenze e capacita consentono loro di elaborare e applicare idee originali, anche in un contesto di ricerca, con specifico riferimento al settore della gestione forestale sostenibile, delle produzioni agroforestali e della progettazione e gestione del verde urbano.
In particolare, i laureati magistrali in SFA sono capaci di esaminare e risolvere problemi complessi di pianificazione e gestione forestale e di coordinare interventi complessi per la tutela e la valorizzazione delle risorse forestali e ambientali, anche in contesti urbani.
A tal fine hanno una solida preparazione culturale di base e una buona padronanza dei metodi scientifici di indagine nei settori: bio-ecologici, delle tecniche di rilevamento territoriale e della gestione, dell'ingegneria applicata e dell'industria del legno.
Le conoscenze sono acquisite dagli studenti durante le lezioni in aula, con attivita pratiche in laboratorio e in foresta, con visite guidate presso impianti sperimentali e comprensori forestali gestiti a fini produttivi e/o conservativi.
I docenti guideranno gli studenti nello studio proponendo e spiegando in aula gli argomenti piu rilevanti e favorendo i collegamenti interdisciplinari, nell?ottica di una conoscenza e comprensione integrata della funzionalita degli ecosistemi agro-forestali e dei territori montani, alla base della gestione sostenibile delle risorse naturali.
Approfondimenti a carattere seminariale su temi specialistici, con esperti esterni o proposti dagli studenti stessi a partire dall?analisi della letteratura internazionale tecnico-scientifica, amplieranno il quadro di conoscenze sviluppato dalla classe in un ambiente collaborativo e dinamico.
Le attivita di laboratorio, serviranno a far conoscere gli strumenti utilizzati per l?analisi dei sistemi forestali e delle risorse naturali al fine di una loro corretta gestione/conservazione e valorizzazione.
Le visite in esterno condotte con la guida di un docente, serviranno a far confrontare gli studenti con i gestori e con gli esperti di settore al fine di comprendere in una dimensione applicativa le conoscenze specialistiche acquisite con lo studio.
Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
I laureati magistrali in SFA sono capaci di applicare le conoscenze, possiedono capacita di comprensione e abilita per risolvere problemi complessi, anche su tematiche nuove o non familiari e/o inserite in contesti interdisciplinari, connessi alla gestione sostenibile delle risorse forestali, anche negli ambienti urbani.
In particolare, al termine del corso di laurea magistrale gli studenti saranno in grado: di applicare metodologie complesse per l'analisi, il monitoraggio e la pianificazione dei sistemi forestali e del verde urbano; di predisporre progetti di recupero ambientale e dei sistemi di controllo idrologico utili a ridurre i fenomeni erosivi e di dissesto idrogeologico; di definire e attivare piani per il monitoraggio della biodiversita animale, vegetale e territoriale, dello sviluppo di patologie vegetali di particolare gravita; di applicare metodologie innovative per l'analisi e la pianificazione della gestione dei sistemi forestali a scala territoriale, di comprensori forestali e di aree forestali frammentate in matrici urbanizzate; di definire e attivare strategie e piani per la valorizzazione delle risorse forestali e per lo sviluppo economico basati sulla gestione sostenibile delle risorse forestali-ambientali e dei prodotti legnosi.
