    Goals to teach invasive foreign forest pathogens and their damage to forest ecosystems., to explain the international/national introduction pathways of invasive alien species, to explain the pre and post-entry control and management possibilities
    Content General concepts such as biological invasion, ecological consequences of invasion, genetic, evolutionary and ecosystem effects, introduction pathways of alien invasive species and pathway management. Detailed explanations of alien invasive forest pathogens, which have significant ecological effects worldwide and in our country, and the threats of foreign invasive species on our forests in our country and the prevention and mitigation measurements
