The aim of the course is to provide the student with tools and understanding for how forest stands and landscapes can be changed by active management of individual forest stands. With this understanding of the connection between management on stand-level and landscape-level forest structure, the student will apply stand-level forest management methods in different landscape-types with different aim of future forest structure. Effects of climate change on future forest landscapes is central for all discussions and learning during the course. The student should have basic knowledge in silviculture on stand-level and measurement of forest stands. This basic knowledge is the foundation for studies of forest management on stand level, how this affects the forest landscape and how it can be modified depending on different future fores
