The aim of regenerative forestry is to promote the abundance, diversity and functioning of soil life, to better enable forests to be resilient in the face of stresses they will face in the 21st century. Soil life can be stewarded through practices that promote the flux of carbon from plants to the belowground ecosystem. This course will first present our current scientific understanding of the diversity of life belowground in forests and the fluxes of plant carbon that fuel the belowground ecosystem. We will then explore how forestry practices could be adapted to promote soil biodiversity and functioning. Students will be tasked with ensivisioning a management strategy that would foster belowground life in a forest that they are familiar with.
This course is available to be taken singly for continuing education purposes or general interest.
