FR 1101 - Dendrology: Identifying
Forest Trees and Shrubs
(3.0 cr; fall, every year)
Identification nomenclature, classification, and distribution
of common and important forest trees and shrubs. Use of keys
and field and lab methods of identification. Offered every
fall. Introduce students to the major tree species which comprise
85% of the forest cover of North America. Laboratory and lecture
programs help students use plant keys for identifying (leaves,
fruit, bark, buds and tree form) of selected species in the
field and laboratory. Students learn the silvical and ecological
relationships, range, economic importance, natural history,
insect/disease problems and wildlife relationships. Students
develop an understanding and appreciation for the forest environment
and learn about and identify species in other regions of North
America and the world.
