Course Content
Analysis of meteo-climatic characteristics of forestry environment in relation with different spatial and temporal scales. Methods for climate monitoring and the application of modelling will be considered for forestry analysis and management. Climate change impacts will be considered together with adaptation and mitigation strategies. Exercitations will be organised to visit agrometeorological stations, to use of internet and to apply simulation modelling.

Learning Objectives
Knolewdge acquired:
Concepts that form the basis for understanding the climate of forestry systems, monitoring and analysis techniques in relation with the development of plants and pathogens.
Competence acquired (at the end of the course):
Analysis of meteo-climatic characteristics of forestry environment in relation with different spatial and temporal scales. Methods for climate monitoring and the application of modelling will be considered for forestry and disease analysis and management. Climate change impacts will be considered together with adaptation and mitigation strategies. Exercitations will be organised to visit agrometeorological stations, to use of internet and to apply simulation modelling.
Skills acquired (at the end of the course):
Monitoring and analysis of climate. Analysis of data a evaluation of biological and physical effects on forestry systems.
