1
The diameter of the tree at four and one half feet above the ground; is measured using a dendrometer
2
In this silviculture system trees are harvested by their individual merit and. quality and also culled due to disease and insects
3
In this silviculture system small groups of mature trees are harvested and intermediate size trees are thinned frequently; benefits wildlife
4
The art and science of managing and regenerating forests to control their composition, structure, and growth
5
This sylviculture system removes ALL trees from a stand
6
This sylviculture system removes certain trees to establish new seedling growth under the protection of the trees that are left
7
The standard unit of volume and is defined as a piece of wood 12 inches long, 12 inches wide, and one inch thick
8
Composes most of the trunk and is made up of dead xylem cells; like the backbone that supports the tree
9
Dead phloem cells that protect the tree from diseases and insects
10
A complex carbohydrate that constitutes the chief part of the cell walls of higher plants and yields fiber for many products
11
Living phloem that serves as the supply line that carries food from leaves to branches, stem and roots
12
This sylviculture system removed most mature trees but leaves behind some good seed- producing trees
13
16’ logs that are free of large knots and at least 8-10 inches in diameter
14
Cell layer that produces new bark (phloem) and new wood (xylem) every year
15
The living xylem that transports water and nutrients up from the roots
16
Underground structures that anchor the tree and take up water, nutrients, and minerals from the soil
17
A group of trees similar enough in species composition, condition, and age distribution to be considered a unit, however, the trees may or may not be the same age
18
Composed of the leaves, branches, twigs, and flowers; primary function is food production
19
Transfers water and nutrients from the roots to the crown; the trunk is the source of the most useful wood in a tree
