Extractions: Key Words Forest ecosystem, forest dynamics, dendrology, wood identification, timber utilization Objectives Forest and wood knowledge aims at the acquiring of basic knowledge in the forest and wood sector . Most attention is paid to the characteristics, processes and understanding of the two main objectives. The first objective is to learn the general tree and wood characteristics of the main tree species of the temperate zones, more specifically of the native tree species. The second objective is to acquire insight and understanding of the forest ecosystem, the forest dynamics and the basics of forestry. The practical training comprises both stand description in the experimental forest of Aelmoeseneie and thematical excursions to the most relevant forest areas in Flanders. Furthermore attention is paid to the identification of the different tree species in relation to their functionality in the forest and the processing into different timber products.

Extractions: I Silvics and Silviculture A. Silvics of North America by the USDA Forest Service http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/silvics_manual/table_of_contents.htm This source describes the affect of the environment on tree growth. It consists of 2 volumes: Volume One: Conifers and Volume 2: Hardwoods. Within each volume there is a Table of Contents from which you can access a long section (the same for each volume) entitled " The Tree and its Environment" , which describes the effect of the environment on trees in general. It outlines the different zones and forest types found on the North American continent according to a number of different classification techniques. It lists a number of environmental factors that may affect forest growth. It mentions environmental interactions and discusses the way that individual environmental factors affect growth. It also discusses the possible effects of climate change The table of contents also contains a list of the North American tree species included in the selected volume. The species are listed alphabetically by scientific name, though the common names and common genus names are also listed (in an adjacent column). Clicking on any species name takes you to another section where you can read about that species habitat, life history, genetics, and special uses of the chosen species. The habitat section seems to be of the most use to our project as it includes information on the native range (including a map), the climate, soils, and topography that favor that species, and the other species and forest types that are often associated with that species.

Extractions: OneStop Directories Search U of M University of Minnesota forestry professor Henry L. Hansen, 92, died May 4 in St. Paul. He was a resident of the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul. From 1946 to 1982 he taught and conducted research in many areas related to forest management, woodland ecology and outdoor recreation resources with primary emphasis on the regeneration and management of the Lake States pine forests. To finish his college education during the depression he helped map land and forests in the Boundary Waters for the US Forest Service. Later, he described to his family his adventures during this 1933-34 period. His son David Hansen says he thoroughly enjoyed mixing with the rough loggers who remained in the area. Initially they had no time for a university kid, but after proving himself in a fight - Henry was a U of M wrestler and enjoyed boxing - he was accepted and learned about the woods from those who lived there. The survey crews traversed what is now the BWCAW, on their own for weeks at a time, and bonded Henry to the woods for the rest of his life. His career in forestry education began in 1936 as an instructor at the U of M, where he worked until recruited by Michigan State University. During WWII he was an inspector for the Army Air Forces glider program, and later an aerial gunnery instructor as a Navy Lieutenant.

Weed identification This Weed Identification decision-making tool is a project of the Strategic Research Initiative in Information Systems and Technology (IT-SRI), which is one of five focus areas of the Illinois Council on Food and Agricultural Research (C-FAR). The Weed Identification tool enables you to input information about an unidentified weed and then compare it with photographs and text descriptions of weeds that share similar characteristics. You can retrieve results by choosing weed type, leaf and flower type, growth habitats, ligule type, and weed life cycle. The database contains information on 172 different types of weeds, and these can be browsed by common or scientific name. weeds varieties identification databases ...
