of forest communities over a range of time scales. The following are
among the topics to be covered:
• Fundamentals and mechanics of species and density control
• Financial costs and benefits
Prerequisite: Forestry 1011.
Four hours of lecture/laboratory per week.
2225. Forest Soils. Soils form a critical component
in the air-water-soil continuum which is vital to the growth and
development of forests. Without soils trees would find it difficult
to find the anchorage which enables them to grow as large as they do.
It is through the soil medium that forest vegetation receives
moisture and nutrients. Forestry 2225 will introduce students to the
complex world of forest soils through investigation of the physical,
chemical biological and biochemical properties. Soil formation and
development will be discussed in regard to parent material, geological
processes, climate, topography and other influences.
Prerequisite: Chemistry 1001 (or equivalent).
Lectures: Three hours per week.
Laboratory: Three hours per week.
NOTE: Three consecutive credit courses in French language are available at the first-year university level, providing a complete overview of basic oral and written French. New students may choose to register initially in French 1500 or 1501; a diagnostic test is offered to assist students with initial course selection or to confirm that initial course selection is appropriate. Students with a limited background in French should register for French 1500 and continue with 1501. Students with a strong background in high-school French should bypass 1500 and begin their university study with 1501, especially if they intend to proceed beyond the first-year level. Very well prepared students may apply to the Department for permission to enter 1502 directly. Bypassing one or more of these courses may enable students to include a larger number of advanced electives in their degree program. French 1500, 1501 and 1502 require three hours of instruction per week and two additional hours of language laboratory work or conversation class, or both.
