Description

Tropical forests contain the greatest biological diversity on Earth and provide critical ecosystem services yet are being rapidly destroyed and degraded by human activities. This course focuses on the structure, function, and diversity of intact and degraded tropical forests. We will discuss the ecological and historical factors that shape these unique and diverse ecosystems as well as the major threats and recovery following disturbance of these forests.
