FORESTRY FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS!!
Forestry - ANSWERThe science, art, and craft of creating, managing, using,
conserving and repairing forests and associated resources, in a sustainable manner,
to meet desired goals, needs, and values for human benefit.
Climate Change - ANSWERA significant and persistent change in the mean state of
the climate or its variability.
Forest ecology - ANSWERStudy of interactions between forest community and their
environment.
Forest stand - ANSWERThe basic unit of forest mapping; a group of trees that are
more or less homogeneous with regard to species composition, density, size, and
sometimes habitat.
Watershed - ANSWERThe total area of a catchment that drains into a particular
stream or river.
Ecosystem - ANSWERAny complex of organisms and their environment considered
as a unit for the purpose of study.
Community - ANSWERA group of interdependent plant and animal populations.
Abiotic and Biotic Factors - ANSWERAbiotic factors are the non-living factors
influencing the ecosystem such as wind, rain, sunlight, soil quality, and temperature.
Biotic factors are the living factors influencing the ecosystem, such as all the
animals.
Urban Forestry - ANSWEREncompasses the trees and forests where people live
based on community involvement in the long-term stewardship of trees and forests
where people live and directly benefit from their presence for varied uses.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) - ANSWERA practice or combination of
practices determined to be an effective or practicable means of preventing or
reducing the amount of water pollution generated by non-point sources.
Ecological Restoration and Restoration Ecology - ANSWERRestoring ecosystems to
a more natural condition. Separate field of ecology supporting the practice of
renewing and restoring degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems and habitats
in the environment by active human intervention and action.
Wildlife Career Options - ANSWERWildlife Manager, Wildlife Biologist, Wildlife
Educator, Public Educator and Outreach Specialist, Wildlife Law Enforcement
Officer, Wildlife Technician, Wildlife Inspector and Forensics Specialist,
, Communications and Public Relations Specialist, Wildlife Policy Analyst, Wildlife
Consultant, Wildlife Economist, Wildlife Administrator, GIS Specialist.
Natural Resource-based Outdoor Recreation - ANSWERRefers to leisure activities
completed in the natural environment that may be constructive, restorative, or
pleasurable.
Aboriculture - ANSWERPlanting, care, and cultivation of trees and woody vegetation,
usually in a non-forest context.
Silviculture - ANSWERArt and science of controlling establishment, growth,
composition, health, and quality of forests to meet diverse needs and values of
landowners and society on a sustainable basis.
Clearcutting - ANSWERExisting forest stand is entirely removed in order to create a
new community.
Shade tolerant vs. Shade intolerant - ANSWERShade tolerant species are species
that can reproduce in a standing forest. Shade intolerant species must have the area
clearcut, so they can grow in direct sunlight.
Wildlife Manager - ANSWERMaintains and manipulates wildlife populations,
habitats, or human users to produce benefits for wildlife and the general public.
Benefits sought may be ecological, economic, social, recreational, or scientific. A
wildlife manager uses wildlife science to formulate and apply scientifically sound
solutions to wildlife and habitat management problems.
Wildlife Biologist - ANSWERGathers, analyzes, and interprets data on wildlife and
habitats, including behavior, disease, ecology, genetics, nutrition, population
dynamics, physiology, land-use changes, and pollution to conserve wildlife species
and improve habitat conditions. A wildlife biologist uses scientific principles to
research wildlife and habitats to increase our knowledge base.
Wildlife Educator - ANSWERTeaches high school and university students about
wildlife science and conservation including wildlife biology, ecology, physiology,
disease, toxicology, taxonomy, economics, research and management techniques,
and conservation policy and law.
Wildlife Technician - ANSWERCollects data on wildlife and habitats under
supervision of wildlife manager or biologist.
North American Wildlife Conservation Model - ANSWER1. Wildlife as public trust
resources
2. Elimination of markets for game
3. Allocation of wildlife by law
4. Wildlife only killed for legitimate purposes
5. Wildlife are international resources
6. Science is proper tool for wildlife management
7. Democracy of Hunting
