LCF5874 - Tropical Native Forest Management

Credit hours

Instructor
Edson José Vidal da Silva

Objective
To enable students to understand the advances and challenges related to the ecological, economic and social aspects of the management of tropical forests to promote conservation and development of native forest resources.

Content
The course program is structured in six (06) major topics:
(i) Contribution of native forest management in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions; (ii) Beyond the reduced impact logging: Silvicultural Treatments in the Management of Native Forests; (iii) Long-term results of native forest management; (iv) Effect of forest management on regeneration; (v) Non-Timber Forest Products important in the context of traditional communities; (vi) Effect of logging on species and illegal wood.
