Code: 6M00DV60
Credits
5 op
Objectives
The student:
- knows the special ecological features of peatland forests and their impact on the management on peatland forests
- knows the site classification system of undrained and drained peatlands and is able to classify peatland sites in field conditions
- knows how to plan silvicultural operations on peatland forests and knows the special features of peatland forests from the point of view of water conditions and timber harvesting
-knows the importance of peatland forests for carbon balance and biodiversity, effects of the use of pealtland forests on aquatic ecosystems and means to minimize harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems
Content
Classification of peatlands, ecology of peatlands, silviculture on peatland forests, forest harvesting on peatlands, effects of ditching and peatland management on aquatic ecosystems
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)
The student is able to outline the habitat classification of mires and peatlands and can use plant species as help in their identification. The student is able to draw some conclusions about forest management measures and the environmental impact on the environment in connection with forest management and harvesting. The drainage plan is not feasible without significant changes / additions
Assessment criteria, good (3-4)
The student knows the habitat classification of mires and peatlands and is able to use plant species in a variety of ways to help them identify them. The drainage plan is feasible with minor modifications.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
The student is able to classify both natural mire types and drained peatlands. He knows ver well different plant species of peatlands. The student is able to make well-informed decisions in forestry and logging, taking into account their environmental impact. The drainage plan is viable
