| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The biotic and abiotic environment surrounding forests will be reviewed, introducing knowledge based on related fields such as forest ecology, biogeochemistry, environmental science, and diversity science. In addition, the relationship between forests and humans will be outlined from the perspective of matter cycles, biodiversity, watershed management, and forestry. The purpose of this class is to understand the forest environment and the relationship between forests and humans from a variety of perspectives. | ||
| Course Goals | Achievement goal of this lecture is to acquire the ability to think comprehensively about the conservation of forest environments and sustainable use of the forest resource by learning not only the natural scientific knowledge of the abiotic environment (air, water, soil, etc.) and the biotic environment surrounding forests, but also the humanistic and social knowledge concerning forests. | ||
