Dictionary of Forestry by Society of American ForestersPublication Date: web edition
The Dictionary of Forestry is a revision of the 1971 Terminology of Forest Science, Technology, Practice, and Products, published by the Society of American Foresters and edited by F.C. Ford-Robertson under the authorization of the Joint FAO/IUFRO Committee on Forest Bibliography and Terminology. Since 1971, there have been substantial changes in the forestry profession — from a focus on multiple use an sustained yield of forest products to a broader, more complex context of sustaining diverse forest uses and values. These changes have modified the use of existing terms, introduced new terms, and created the need for an up-to-date dictionary that permits consistent use of professional language.
