Silviculture melds the biological and operational dimensions of forestry, and can be defined as: the art and science of manipulating growing space for trees and stands to meet an objective. We will first examine natural tree and stand development with some fundamentals of stand dynamics, site productivity, stand density, and tree growth/architecture. The main part of the course addresses basic tools and techniques used by silviculturists - the silvicultural "toolbox". We will, of course, integrate the fundamentals and tools by examining standard prescriptions that achieve various objectives throughout North America and the world.
