  19. Term used in reference to “management”? “S” “Study of life” of the forest! “E” Word for diverse habitat. “B” What can our forests be used for? “M” Why do we apply silvicultural techniques?

  20. Two methods of regeneration? “N” and “A” Forest inventory – we don’t measure every tree, we “S” Forest insects - Newest to hardwoods? E” Hemlock? Hemlock makes up a small segment of timber – why are we concerned about hemlock dying?

  21. Name one tool used in forestry? SMZ’s BMP’s? DBH DBH is measured at what location on the tree? What are the measurements needed to determine volume of a “tree”? What are the measurements needed for a “log”

  22. What is a pace? What is meant by “Pioneer Species”? What silvicultural technique is used to create an even aged woodland? …..Uneven aged management?
