Course Objectives and prerequisites
- Objectives
The Silviculture module is introduced in the agronomy undergraduate program to provide students with basic concepts in general silviculture, such as forest ecosystems, dendrology, reforestation, and regeneration methods, among others.
These concepts form the fundamental principles required to develop a management plan within a natural (forest) environment.
- Prerequisites
To achieve the objectives of the Silviculture module, the following prerequisites are generally required:
- Basic knowledge in plant biology – understanding plant anatomy, physiology, and reproduction.
- Introduction to ecology – concepts of ecosystems, biodiversity, and ecological interactions.
- General agronomy principles – soil–plant relationships, environmental factors affecting growth.
- Basic geography and climatology – knowledge of climate types, topography, and their effects on vegetation.
- Introduction to forest sciences or natural resource management – basic understanding of forest types and uses.
