3. Silviculture and treatment Silviculture is the science and practice of managing forests and woodlands. It involves controlling the growth, composition, health, and establishment of forests.  Silviculture is used to meet the needs of society and landowners, such as for timber, wildlife habitat, and recreation. Silviculture techniques:  Thinning : Improves the quality, growth, and composition of a stand Harvesting : Establishes a new age class of trees Prescribed burning : A silvicultural treatment Site preparation : Clears vegetation, removes obstacles, and improves soil conditions SITCOE YADRAV 3

4. Silviculture systems  Silviculture systems  Coppice systems : Cut back the stem of certain broadleaf species to near the ground Even-aged : A silvicultural system Uneven-aged : A silvicultural system Two-aged : A silvicultural system Silviculture goals  Timber production : Meet the demand for timber Wildlife habitat : Provide a habitat for wildlife Naturalness : Emulate natural processes or minimize disturbance effects Silviculture and sustainability Silviculture can be used to sustainably manage forests and woodlands. For example, silviculture can be used to mitigate the negative impacts of insect disturbances.  SITCOE YADRAV 4

6. Automatic Guidance Automatic Guidance in Forestry refers to the use of advanced technology, such as GPS, LiDAR , sensors, and AI, to enhance the precision and efficiency of forestry operations. These systems help in tasks like tree harvesting, plantation, thinning, and monitoring . Key Technologies in Automatic Guidance for Forestry: GPS & GNSS Navigation – Helps forestry machinery follow precise routes with minimal environmental impact. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) – Creates 3D maps of forests for better planning and decision-making. AI & Machine Learning – Assists in identifying tree species, detecting diseases, and optimizing harvesting. Autonomous & Semi-Autonomous Machinery – Uses self-driving capabilities for harvesting, planting, and thinning operations. Drones & Remote Sensing – Monitors forest health, detects illegal logging, and assesses post-harvest areas. Robotics in Tree Planting – Automated machines that plant trees efficiently with minimal soil disturbance. SITCOE YADRAV 6

10. Broad-acre harvesting Broad-acre harvesting, primarily in Australia, refers to the large-scale harvesting of crops like wheat, barley, and oilseeds, often using specialized machinery like combine harvesters.  SITCOE YADRAV 10

11. Horticulture: picking of fruits Horticulture is the art and science of cultivating, processing, and marketing fruits, vegetables, nuts, and ornamental plants, often practiced on a smaller, more intensive scale than agriculture.  SITCOE YADRAV 11
