"Forestry is the science and craft of creating, managing, planting, using, conserving and repairing forests and woodlands for associated resources for human and environmental benefits."
The science and practice of managing trees, forests, and related natural resources.
Forest Ecology: The study of the interactions between organisms and their environment and how they contribute to forest health and productivity.
Silviculture: The practice of growing and managing forest trees and stands to meet specific objectives, such as timber production or environmental preservation.
Forest Management: The art and science of planning and implementing strategies to manage forests sustainably for economic, social, and environmental benefits.
Forest Inventory: The process of collecting information on the characteristics, composition, and structure of forested areas to inform management decisions.
Wildlife Management: The practice of managing forested landscapes to promote healthy wildlife populations and restore habitat damaged by human activities.
Forest Engineering: The use of technology and tools to design, construct, and manage forest roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.
Forest Policy: The study of the laws, regulations, and institutions that govern the public and private forests and the rights and responsibilities of forest users.
Forest Economics: The study of the economic principles that underlie forestry and natural resource management, including supply and demand, market structures, and pricing policies.
Forest Conservation: The practice of protecting and preserving forested landscapes and the species that rely on them, often through regulation, education, and community engagement.
Forest Health: The study of the relationships between forests, their biotic and abiotic components, and the processes that affect their health and productivity, including pests, diseases, and climate change.
"The science of forestry has elements that belong to the biological, physical, social, political and managerial sciences."
"Forest management plays an essential role in the creation and modification of habitats and affects ecosystem services provisioning."
"Modern forestry generally embraces a broad range of concerns, in what is known as multiple-use management, including: the provision of timber, fuel wood, wildlife habitat, natural water quality management, recreation, landscape and community protection, employment, aesthetically appealing landscapes, biodiversity management, watershed management, erosion control, and preserving forests as 'sinks' for atmospheric carbon dioxide."
"Forest ecosystems have come to be seen as the most important component of the biosphere, and forestry has emerged as a vital applied science, craft, and technology."
"A practitioner of forestry is known as a forester. Another common term is silviculturist."
"Forestry is an important economic segment in various industrial countries, as forests provide more than 86 million green jobs and support the livelihoods of many more people."
"For example, in Germany, forests cover nearly a third of the land area, wood is the most important renewable resource, and forestry supports more than a million jobs and about €181 billion of value to the German economy each year."
"Worldwide, an estimated 880 million people spend part of their time collecting fuelwood or producing charcoal, many of them women."
"Human populations tend to be low in areas of low-income countries with high forest cover and high forest biodiversity, but poverty rates in these areas tend to be high."
