Silviculture is the practice of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests to meet diverse needs and values. The name comes from the Latin silvi- (forest) + culture (as in growing). The study of forests and woods is termed silvology.
I just received a new book entitled, The Longleaf Pine Ecosystem: Ecology, Silviculture, and Restoration. Here is the Amazon link. This appears to be a comprehensive treatment of the subject by leading academics and field biologists. Its my new textbook for this project.
