The document discusses the concepts of silviculture, which is defined as the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, and health of forests to meet the diverse needs of landowners and society sustainably. Several silvicultural systems are described such as clearcutting, seed tree, shelterwood, group selection, and single tree selection. The document also discusses forest structure, values derived from forests, and intermediate treatment techniques used in silviculture.
