Nowadays this Faculty is the largest of its kind in Germany. It is composed of 15 rather independent institutes which are listed on the last page. These institutes are run by 25 professors and about 200 staff-members. There is a rigid entry requirement to regulate the number of new admissions, which nowadays amounts to about 100 students annually. Objectives and Approach This MSc program aims at imparting professional qualifications in the fields of tropical and international forestry and agroforestry, relevant to development needs in the students' home countries or for those who are going to work in an international environment. The structure of the course has evolved in close consultation with international development agencies, professional training institutions and universities. It is based on an analysis of the needs of prospective employers.
Extractions: Introduction The Hosting Institution Field trips. Clothing Donnors Instructors A new way to determine plants Content of the course Costs and Financing To whom is the course addressed Registration Introduction Field plant identification is a challenge faced every day in the tropics. Many professionals involved in biology studies would like to master an easy method to know, in the field, the scientific names of the plants they are dealing with. Some times people would be very pleased even just by knowing the genus or the family, or just the order of the plants. A method solving these types of problems is offered every year by the Tropical Science Center, in Costa Rica, offering a two-week course of Tropical Dendrology, which is given twice in English (March, and June-July) and one time in Spanish (April). go to top TSC: The hosting institution The Tropical Science Center (TSC) was founded in 1962 as a private Costarrican non profit association. Its objectives are to conduct and support scientific research and education, and to encourage the acquisition and application of knowledge concerning Man's enduring relationships with the resources - biological and physical - of tropical environments. The Center established its Continuing Education Program in 1992. The Center also offers private consultancy in these and other subjects. There is a link at the bottom to a webpage on the Tropical Science Center.
Extractions: Participants learn more than it is normally expected in an intensive 2-weeks course. By the end of each course, most of the students have declared that they are able to identify, down to family level, about 70% - 80% of the trees and shrubs of the Neotropics Click here for SHORT opinions given by former students.

Extractions: 1981-1982 Senate Document #44 APC Document #26 Joint Program with North Carolina State University in Forestry I. Description of Joint Program Delete: Section entitled "Joint Program with North Carolina State University in Forestry." page 50 of the 1981-82 Catalog. Add: Joint Program with the North Carolina State University School of Forest Resources. The University of North Carolina at Asheville and the School of Forest Resources of North Carolina State University offer a program under which a student may take two years of work in a preforestry curriculum at UNCA and then transfer to North Carolina State University for completion of degree requirements. This program leads to a Bachelor of Science Degree in one of four degree areas offered by the School of Forest Resources: Forestry, Wood Science and Technology, Pulp and Paper Science and Technology, and Recreation Resources Administrations. For full admission to the transfer program, entering students must meet all entrance requirements of UNCA. UNCA students who have completed the two years of the preforestry program will be admitted automatically to the School of Forest Resources if their grade point average is 2.5 or higher. Students in the Forestry degree curriculum are required to take summer camp immediately after completing the sophomore year. Model programs and requirements of the four degree areas are available from the forestry advisor in the Department of Biology, Rhoades Science Building. Rationale: UNC-Asheville and North Carolina State are interested in establishing a more formalized 2 + 2 program with the School of Forest Resources at NCSU. The primary intent of the arrangement is to provide interested individuals in the Western North Carolina region with an opportunity to consider forestry as a viable major without incurring the expense and initial enrollment competition at NCSU. Forestry is frequently cited as an interest area by college-bound high school seniors. Though the number are not large, the addition of a transfer program coupled with already existing natural science programs will enable the University to more aggressively recruit quality high school students. Page 2 II. Courses to be Added to UNCA Offerings in Biology Following are course descriptions for the four courses to be added to Department of Biology offerings. These will satisfy specified requirements of the joint program. Add: 150 Introduction to Forestry (3) Overview of multiple use forestry; history, policy, practice, protection, national planning, forestry careers, and methods of obtaining and presenting forest data. Prerequisite: Biol 131. 250 Dendrology (4) Identification, ecological and taxonomic relationship, and geographic distributions of important woody plants of North America, concentrating on native species of the Southwest. Prerequisites: Biol 131, 133. 251 Basic Mensuration (4) Theory, principles, and techniques of procedure and instrumentation relative to proper collection and presentation of forest mensurational data. Emphasis on sampling problems. Prerequisites: Biol 131, 133. 252 Wood Structure and Properties (3) Macrostructure and microstructure of wood; physical properties and uses of several commercially important coniferous and deciduous woods with techniques of wood identification. Prerequisites: Biol 131, 133. Rationale: The above course additions will allow a student in the forestry transfer program to have the first two years of course work completed before transferring to NCSU as a junior. Our Biology 150, 250, and 251 will serve as prerequisites for this course and for the summer camp experience. Biology 252, as proposed above, is required in the Wood Science and Technology curriculum. NCSU will offer a continuation of the course, WPS 203, Wood Structure and Properties II, on the junior and senior level. The courses will be offered once a year depending on demand. They would be taught by part-time faculty from the Southeast Regional Forestry Laboraory and, in the case of Biol 250, by a UNCA faculty member. The estimated instructional cost would be $7,000-$8,000 annually. No equipment would be required since the laboratory of the Forest Service will provide any specialized Page 3 measuring devices. Use of personnel from the Forestry Laboratory will help to expand a cooperative relationship and could lead to some joint projects. The four courses above will count toward the science requirement in the Foreign Language Option for non-science majors. Biology 250 will count toward elective hours in the biology major; Biology 250, 251, and 252 will not be accepted toward the biology major. Another course, Engineering Graphics (2) is required in the Pulp and Paper Science and Technology curriculum. The UNCA student may take Drafting I and II (DFT 101 and 102) in Asheville-Buncombe Technical College's Division of Engineering Technology. The courses last for one quarter each and are cumulatively equivalent to 2 semester hours of UNCA/NSCU credit. DFT 101 and 102 are offered on a regular basis at AB Tech; some of UNCA's engineering students take these as part of that joint program. III. Course to be Added to UNCA Offerings in Physical Education The degree curriculum in Recreation Resources Administration requires that a course in recreation be offered by UNCA's Physical Education Department. Add: Rec 260 Introduction to Recreation (3) Introduction to the field of recreation. The main ideas of study will be: recreation history and objectives, sociological and economic aspects of recreation, leadership qualities, facilities, and settings for organized recreation in the modern society. Rationale: This course meets the requirements of the Joint Program with the North Carolina State University School of Forest Resources. It is expected that the course will not place any pressure on budgetary resources. The Physical Education Department plans to upgrade its library holdings in recreation out of the department's yearly library budget. The NCSU syllabus, course description, objectives, course outline, text, list of references, and course requirements are available and will be followed. Effective Date: August, 1982

Silvics of North America by the USDA Forest Service http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/silvics_manual/table_of_contents.htm This source describes the affect of the environment on tree growth. It consists of 2 volumes: Volume One: Conifers and Volume 2: Hardwoods. Within each volume there is a Table of Contents from which you can access a long section (the same for each volume) entitled " The Tree and its Environment" , which describes the effect of the environment on trees in general. It outlines the different zones and forest types found on the North American continent according to a number of different classification techniques. It lists a number of environmental factors that may affect forest growth. It mentions environmental interactions and discusses the way that individual environmental factors affect growth. It also discusses the possible effects of climate change The table of contents also contains a list of the North American tree species included in the selected volume. The species are listed alphabetically by scientific name, though the common names and common genus names are also listed (in an adjacent column). Clicking on any species name takes you to another section where you can read about that species habitat, life history, genetics, and special uses of the chosen species. The habitat section seems to be of the most use to our project as it includes information on the native range (including a map), the climate, soils, and topography that favor that species, and the other species and forest types that are often associated with that species.
