Master of Forest Science Student Yale School of The Environment New Haven, Connecticut, United States
The main takeaway is understanding how exotic tree species can facilitate the regeneration of native species in highly degraded and deforested landscapes, directly by stabilizing the environmental conditions (soil and hydrology) and indirectly providing forest resources to reduce human impact on the remaining natural forests.
Learning Objectives:
Describe how different management practices influence the regenerative ability of teak in dry semi deciduous forests.
Upon completion, participants will be able to conduct similar surveys using other exotic plant species in highly degraded site which are unsuitable for the growth of native species in other to facilitate the growth of native species.
