Podcasts 2012
FOR 520, Forest Stand Dynamics, is a course that explores how forest stands develop
and change through time. Emphasis is placed on the biological mechanisms that drive
the stand development process and on management applications. Special attention
is given to the role of disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic.
Each year, the students develop podcasts related to a topic of interest related
to stand development patterns. Below are the names of the Spring 2012 students and
their podcast titles. We hope you enjoy their work!
