LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes
Please describe the learning outcomes of the course: Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired after the successful completion of the course.
The course syllabus aims at clarifying the definition of the wetland as a natural ecosystem and the recognition of the various types of wetlands, at the knowledge of the legal status of protection of wetlands, in the description and analysis of the functions and the assessment of the values of wetlands, in the understanding of the principles of wetland management and in the drawing up the management plan of a wetland. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: · distinguish the basic elements that define a wetland ecosystem and recognize the different types of wetlands. · is aware of the international and national legal status of wetlands protection and understand the need to monitor developments in it. · understand the functions of wetlands as natural ecosystem processes that occur to varying degrees in each wetland and can be positively or negatively affected by human interventions. · recognize the values of wetlands as a result of ecosystem functions and distinguish the different assessment of values by different social groups. · realize the direct dependence of wetland functions and values and the interactions between them and conclude that management is an exercise in rational interventions that require constant monitoring. · understand the principles of wetland management, examine the level of occurrence of various functions in a wetland, assess the values produced and combine the results in order to propose appropriate wetland management measures. · know the contents of the management plan of a wetland and recognize that its compilation requires interdisciplinarity, cooperation and conflict prevention.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes
Please describe the learning outcomes of the course: Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired after the successful completion of the course.
The course syllabus aims to complement management knowledge by examining the non- timber functions of the forest as autonomous services of the forest ecosystem and exploring ways of integrating them into management practice. In this context, methods for assessing the benefits of a forest function are examined, the relationships between the functions are studied and techniques for their quantitative expression are assessed. Finally, real applications for the management of non-timber functions in Greek forests are analyzed. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: · Understand the need to integrate the non-timber functions of the forest into management plans. · Recognize that forest functions do not exist autonomously, but in close interdependence with each other. · Specifies and clearly defines the management objectives for each non-timber function. · Explain the interactions between objectives and assess the offsets of achieving the objectives on the other functions of forest ecosystems. · Distinguish the type of information needed for each function, search for data and information necessary for the management planning. · Process the data using the management methodology and available technology and forms a picture of the current situation and the evolution trends of each forest function. · Analyze the results, draw conclusions for the management of each function and assess the impact of the proposed measures on the other forest functions.
