1 UNIVERSIDAD DEL SAGRADO CORAZÓN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCES TITLE OF THE COURSE: FORESTS OF PUERTO RICO CODE: BIO 220 CREDITS : 3 PRERREQUIREMENT : BIO 109 or BIO 111 CONFERENCE : 45 HOURS DESCRIPTION Study of physical and biological characteristics of puertorican forests. Weather, geography, soils, flora and fauna. Natural resources. Recreational, research, recreational and tourism potential. JUSTIFICATION The rational use of the natural resources gets more important with time due the excessive increase of the population and destruction of forested areas in order to provide space for urban, agricultural, commercial, industrial and recreational facilities. This widespread e destruction limits the opportunity of recovery of the forests and causes the erosion of the lands and damages to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which are particularly impacted in terms of their water quality at an alarming rate. The study of the forests structure, composition and interactions of the organisms is important for the intellectual formation of the university student. The course will provide the basic knowledge s that will allow the student to promote the rational conservation of the natural resources and their sustainable development. OBJECTIVES: 1. To identify the forest regions of Puerto Rico and the different forests that characterized them. 2. To locate the forests and to identify the municipalities in which they are. 3. To compare the types of lands and the climatic characteristics of the state and federal forests. 4. Discuss to the diversity of flora and fauna of each forest and explain their differences. 5. To recognize the vulnerable and endangered plants and animals species and the responsible factors for such status. 6. Discuss the potentiality of each forest for wood production, water management, scientific research, environmental education, passive recreation and tourism.
