Study Notes

Hardwoods: Broadleaf, deciduous trees fall under this general term in forestry.
Harvesting: Involves cutting, felling, and gathering forest timber for various purposes.
Headlamp: Firefighters working on the fireline at night wear these flashlights on their helmets for visibility.
Herbaceous vegetation: Refers to low-growing, non-woody plants like wildflowers and ferns in the forest understory.
High grading: The practice of selectively removing only mature, high-quality trees from a stand, leaving inferior species behind.
Hypsometer: A tool used to measure the height of trees, with the clinometer being a specific type of hypsometer.
Industrial forester: Professionals employed by wood-using industries, such as sawmills, who purchase timber from private woodland owners.
