Forensic Ecotechnics, Forest and Wood Species
ÚSI-1RDFEAcad. year: 2018/2019
The subject is aimed at issues of relevant relationships and connections of real expert objects in the complex of forest-trees-man.
Content targeting: the forest - biological organism; the development of relation of man and forest; trees - basic identification; the main criteria for assessing trees; forestry disciplines (forest establishment, forest tending, forest protection and regeneration of forest); forest valuation, forest stand, non-forest stand and ornamental trees; fees and expenses; legal legislation on the subject.

2. System identification and assessment of conditions and structures of the expert object - with emphasis on forest and trees; FEld systemic methodology
3. Typologically united part of expert opinion in relevant fields
4. Forest - biological organism: what a forest is; developing relationship between man and forest; example in the part of the Šumava region
5. Forest ecosystem - the diversity of forest and signs of vegetation; Forensic
ecotechnics: forest and trees - a system approach to the solution
6. Basic forestry disciplines in a holistic concept of forest - brief review; Basic principles of forest management - forest maps; FEld and linkage to the European Union - from the perspective of the needs of the expert
7. Trees (set of mostly tree taxa) - important component of forest and permanent diffused green in urban and outdoor (free) landscape; tree taxa (requirements for knowledge, basic identification, distinguishing features)
8. Nomenclature; morphology, physiology (variability, biological and ecological requirements); trees in anthropogenic ecosystems
9. Method of contact vegetation valuation „CFA“; Special visual diagnostic methodology; Reduction factor RKFA
10. Safety diagnostics: symptoms, defects and deviations in growth and structure of wood
affecting stability; individual tree, identification and evaluation of the risks of its failure - chronic risks from the point of view of human factor and forest ecosystem
11. Valuation - valuation of forest: valuation of natural resources; forest particularities; Forest valuation theory; basic inputs for the valuation; Applied Forest valuation
12. Problems of determination of the level of damage to forest; valuation of non-productive functions of forest; assessment and valuation of biotopes; ecological damage
13. Valuation - valuation of trees and their stands on non-forest land: valuation of ornamental plants (trees); memorial trees; determination of the age of trees growing outside the forest (of generative, vegetative origin); International valuation standards IVS/EVS
