10 IN THIS STRATEGY, TREES REGENERATE BY SEED ON SITE, FROM ADJACENT STANDS, BY WIND ETC.

11 WHAT IS NATURAL REGENERATION

12 YOUNG TREES THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED NATURALLY BEFORE REGNERATION CUTTINGS ARE BEGUN OR A CLEARCUT IS MADE

13 WHAT IS ADVANCED REGENERATION

14 SEEDBED

15 WHAT IS THE NATURAL REGENERATION TRIANGLE

16 YOU CAN FIT IN MORE TREES/HA AT THE SAME INTER-TREE SPACING IF USING THIS PATTERN

17 WHAT IS TRIANGLE SPACING

18 A SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM FOR MANAGING STANDS OF STOOLS AND SPROUTS. USED IN EUROPE FOR HAZEL, CHESTNUT AND OAK.

19 WHAT IS COPPICING

20 LOW, CROWN, SELECTION, GEOMETRIC, FREE

21 WHAT ARE METHODS OF THINNING

22 IN THIS LAW, GROWTH IS LIMITED BY WHATEVER FACTOR IS MOST NEEDED

23 WHAT IS THE LAW OF THE MINIMUM

24 THE AMOUNT OF CROWN RATIO THAT SHOULD BE LEFT WHEN PRUINING

25 WHAT IS 30%

26 MINERALIZATION OF FOREST FLOOR NUTRIENTS (PRIMARILY NITROGEN) IS GREATEST ON THESE SITE PREP TREATMENTS

27 MOUNDS OR PLOW BERMS

28 IF SELECTION THINNING OR SINGLE TREE SELECTION ARE NOT CAREFULLY IMPLEMENTED IT CAN LEAD TO

29 WHAT IS HIGH GRADING

30 A PROGRAM FOR TABLE INTERPOLATION OF STAND YIELDS

31 WHAT IS TIPSY

32 AVERAGE DBH OF TREES HARVESTED AVERAGE DBH BEFORE HARVEST

33 WHAT IS THE d/d RATIO

34 NUMBER OF TREES YOU HAVE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TREES YOU CAN HAVE OF THAT SIZE

35 WHAT IS RDI (relative density index)

36

37 THE NAME OF THE LAW AND SLOPE OF THE LINE THAT DICTATES SELF THINNING

38 WHAT IS THE -3/2 SELF THINNING LAW

39 THIS TYPE OF DIAMETER DISTRIBUTION CURVE IS COMMON IN MULTISPECIES, MULTI-COHORT OR ALL- AGED STANDS

40 WHAT IS A REVERSE J- SHAPED CURVE

41 THESE CATEGORIES ARE USED TO DISCUSS GRADIENTS OF: INTENSITY FREQUENCY SCALE

42 WHAT ARE GRADIENTS OF DISTURBANCE

43 A GROUP OF TREES THAT INITIATED AT THE SAME TIME

44 WHAT IS A COHORT

45 THE NUMBER OF TREES AND LIVE CROWN RATIO GOES DOWN IN THIS STAGE OF STAND DEVELOPMENT

46 WHAT IS STEM EXCLUSION

47 THE PROCESS OF THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER. THIS CAN BE SUBDIVIDED INTO FOUR CATEGORIES: DOMINANT CODOMINANT INTERMEDIATE SURPESSED (OVERTOPPED)

48 WHAT IS DIFFERENTIATION

49 SEPARATION INTO LAYERS BY SPECIES OR COHORT

50 WHAT IS STRATIFICATION

51 COMMON IN BC, THIS EVEN- AGED METHOD IS CONSIDERED THE LOWEST COST

52 WHAT IS CLEARCUT

53 WHAT AGE SYSTEM DO GROUP-SELECTION AND SINGLE-TREE SELECTION PROMOTE?

54 WHAT ARE UNEVEN-AGED SYSTEMS

55 A SILVICULTURE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO RETAIN INDIVIDUAL TREES OR GROUPS OF TREES TO MAINTAIN STRUCTURAL DIVERSITY OVER THE AREA OF A CUTBLOCK FOR AT LEAST ONE ROTATION

56 WHAT IS VARIABLE RETENTION

57 WHAT IS THE GOAL OF A SHELTERWOOD METHOD?

58 WHAT IS A REGENERATION CUT

59 IN THIS SILVICULTURE REGIME, VOLUME WILL NOT EXCEED A PURE STAND OF THE MOST SHADE TOLERANT SPECIES BUT WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH MORE

60 WHAT IS MIXED-SPECIES MANAGEMENT

61 THE ART AND SCIENCE OF CONTROLLING THE ESTABLISHMENT, GROWTH, COMPOSITION AND QUALITY OF FOREST VEGETATION FOR THE FULL RANGE OF FOREST RESOURCE OBJECTIVES.

62 WHAT IS SILVICULTURE

63 A FUNDAMENTAL PLANNING TOOL IN WHICH ULTIPLE OBJECTIVES FOR A SITE ARE INTEGRATED WITH SITE CAPABILITY THAT INCLUDES STAND CONDITIONS, TARGET STAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SILVICULTURAL SYSTEM

64 WHAT IS A PRESCRIPTION

65 WHAT ARE THREE TOOLS A SILVICULTURIST HAS?

66 PLANT KILL AMELIORATE SITE

67 A CONTIGUOUS GROUP OF TREES SUFFICIENTLY UNIFORM IN SPECIES COMPOSITION, ARRANGEMENT OF AGE CLASSES, SITE QUALITY, AND CONDITION TO BE A DISTINGUISHABLE UNIT

68 WHAT IS A STAND

69 Science based forestry is based on this, which includes the following steps: 1. Hypothesis 2. Implement 3. Assess 4. Revise hypothesis 5. Implement

70 WHAT IS ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT

71

72 WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES FOR PHOTOSYNTHATE?

73 1. Respiration 2. Foliage Fine Roots 3. {Reproduction} 4. Primary Growth 5. Secondary Growth Secondary Compounds
