The art and science that promotes the growth of single trees and the forest as a biological unit.
The theory and practise of controlling the establishment, composition, growth and quality of forest stands to achieve certain management objectives.
Managing the establishment, composition, growth and quality of forested areas. (includes planting/seeding, site rehabilitation and fertilization).
Theory and practice of controlling the establishment, composition, structure and growth of forests and woodlands.
The science and art of cultivating tree crops to yield a harvestable resource or other forest values and benefits. It includes any mechanical and chemical treatments that may be involved in the process.
The science and technology of managing forest establishment, composition and growth.
Care and cultivation of forest trees (e.g., forestry).
The branch of forestry science that is concerned with the propagation and management of trees.
The science and art of influencing the establishment, composition and development of tree stands to achieve forest management objectives.
management of timber trees to improve quality and yield, principally by pruning and thinning; can also entail seedling selection, fertilising, spraying for disease and weed control.
The control of the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests and woodlands as a sustainable resource.
