This course introduces multiple resource inventories, designed to provide an understanding of how natural resources are sampled and quantified. Emphasis is placed on the measurement of forest attributes, and the analysis of forest resource data. Students learn how to make graphical and numerical summaries of their datasets and to generate descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency and dispersion. This foundational course prepares students for future courses and careers in natural resource management, by providing them with a set of basic field skills and techniques. Field trips are required.
