"Modulo di Dendrologia"

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Learn the main concepts regarding the biology of forest species, their recognition and role in biodiversity support. Learn the basic concepts to understand structure and ecology of the forest cenologies.
APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Ability to apply the diagnostic methodologies necessary for the identification of forest tree species and the recognition of the main forest formations. Collect useful data to understand the taxonomy, growth habit, chorology, temperament, cenology and customary uses of each woody species in the various Italian forestry consortia, demonstrating a professional approach both to devise and support arguments and to solve management and conservation problems.
MAKING JUDGMENTS

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Acquire technical terminology to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions clearly and in detail to the scientific and public community.
LEARNING SKILLS
Develop learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.


"Modulo di Conservazione della biodiversità"

The course aims to consolidate and expand the knowledge and understanding of the bases of the diversity of forest species and ecosystems, providing a framework for applying the methods of analysis and monitoring aimed at their conservation.
