Impact of Climate Change on Forest Ecosystems and Management

This exam investigates the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems, focusing on the alterations to biodiversity, productivity, and health of forests. It emphasizes the physiological responses of tree species and the dynamics of forest communities under changing climatic conditions.

Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing effective forest management strategies that address sustainability and conservation. The implications of climate change on forests extend to ecosystem services, carbon sequestration, and socioeconomic factors influencing forestry practices.

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to articulate the theoretical principles related to climate change effects on forests. They should demonstrate proficiency in discussing how these changes can inform management approaches and mitigation strategies.

Additionally, the exam may cover recent research findings and their significance in shaping future forestry policies aimed at enhancing forest resilience.
