![]() References are listed in the literature cited section.Īlthough this collection does not include all timber harvesting and forest engineering terms, it is hoped that the compilation will provide a sufficiently extensive glossary for forest operations. The literature citations referenced for each term follow the definition (in parentheses). ![]() This list of terms and definitions should result in better communication among people involved in forest engineering.Ī literature review was conducted to assemble the terms from published sources in an attempt to exclude colloquial terminology. The objective of this publication is to provide a glossary of definitions for a broad group of terms used in forestry and in forest engineering, with an emphasis on harvesting. ![]() With the increasing cost and complexity of forest operations, there is an ever-growing need for standardization of forest engineering terminology. Changes in forest management and increased utilization of the forest brought about by new products have also added to the scope of forest engineering terminology. With increased mechanization since the early 1940's, the meanings of some terms have changed, and many new terms have been added. The terminology used in forest engineering and harvesting has evolved over many years, beginning with the early lumberjacks who cut trees for homes and industry.
