Comment/Description

The lecture focuses on landuse options with special emphasis on the management of dry deciduous forests on a global scale. With 30% share of global land surface drylands play an important role in terms of ecological and economical aspects and require a specific way of management. The second focus of this module is the application of different plant ecological and silvicultural methods, especially for the analysis of gap dynamics. Management of tropical forest is largely based on the extraction of single large trees that create canopy gaps. In the seminar, we analyze predictions of ecological theory for tree establishment in forest gaps and will do an empirical study on regrowth characteristics in gaps of a species rich temperate forest. The method spectrum will include field measurements of canopy openness, leaf area, soil moisture, leaf water potential and leaf traits.

Learning outcome / core skills:
Knowledge of the specifics of dryland forestry. Students will learn to use and apply different plant ecological and silvicultural methods.

Person responsible for module: Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher
