Purpose and description of the content of education:
The course Dendrology will enable the student to learn about the reasons for the formation of the species composition and ranges of the main species of trees and shrubs in Poland. It will deepen the knowledge of the participants of the classes on the factors determining the occurrence of today's composition of dendroflora in Poland and intra-population diversity depending on habitat conditions. It will give the opportunity to learn about the most important species of trees, shrubs, and climbers, used in urban plantings and in post-industrial areas. The student will acquire practical skills in marking and recognizing trees and shrubs in a leafless and leafy state, as well as preparing records for the protection of monumental trees. Acquire the skills to use specialized equipment for dendrometrical and dendrochronological measurements, which is necessary to calculate stand productivity.
