A Distinct aggregation of trees originating from a single natural event or regeneration activity, or a grouping of trees, e.g., 10-year age class, as used in inventory or management.

Establishment of a Forest or stand in an area not recently forested

The area of the cross section of a tree stem, including the bark, generallyat breast height (4.5 feet above the ground)

A standard height from ground level for recording diameter, girth or basal area of a tree, generally 4.5 feet

Any tree that is selected to become a component of a future commercial harvest

Trees with crowns completley above the general level of the main canopy recieving full light from above and from all sides.

Trees with crowns extending above the general level of the main canopy of even aged stands or, in uneven age stands, above the crowns of the trees immediate neighbors, and recieving full light from above and partly from the sides

Trees with crowns forming the general level of the main canopy in even aged stands or, in uneven aged stands, the main canopy of the tree's immediate neighbors, recieving full light from above and comparatively little from the sides.

Trees with crowns extending into the lower portion of the main canopy of even aged stands or, in uneven aged stands, into the lower portion of the canopy formed by the tree's immediate neighbors, but shorter in hieght than the codominates.

The planned interval between partial harvests in an uneven aged stand

The genetic constitution of an organism in terms of it's hereditary characteristics as distinguished from it's physical appearance or phenotype.

A cutting made in a stand pole sized or larger primarly to improve composition and quality by removing less desirable trees of any species.

Trees that during a specified period have grown past an arbitrary lower limit of (usually) diameter or hieght. In growth is usually measured as basal area or volume per unit area.

A release treatment made in a stand not past the sapling stage in order to free the favored trees from competition of older, overtopping trees.

A stand of a single species, generally even aged

The sybiotic association between certain fungi and plant roots which enhances the uptake of water and nutrients

An age class created from natural seeding, sprouting, suckering, or layering

The cutting of trees comprising an upper canopy layer in order to release trees or other vegetation in an understory

The observed expression of a trait in an indivisual resulting from developmental interaction of the indivisuals genotype and its operational environment

A tree between the size of a sapling and a mature tree.
