for the express purpose of generating trees for harvest. Other forests, however, are managed to preserve habitat and species diversity. Consequently, the management methodologies that are implemented are
very diverse. At the same time, however, these methodologies all focus on providing the optimum growth situation for the species of focus. They all emphasize the importance of
such things as species composition, planting density, and the control of undesirable species. The importance of conservation in forestry, however, cannot be overemphasized. While reforestation is a common
methodology in the field, it is practically impossible to restore a clear cut forest to its original ecological complexity. Commercial silvaculture
presents an example of forest management practices where the concentration is on producing a large number of trees meeting specific growth characteristics in the shortest time possible. When trees
are harvested the forest land is immediately replanted. This replanting is structured, however, not on producing any sort of ecological complexity but rather on producing a monoculture of the
specific species of tree. Likewise, planting density and crop management is structure to optimize harvest. Controlled burns, for example, might be a common component of a pine silvaculture
operation. In this case the burn would be carried out for the purpose of eliminating or greatly reducing understory components of the forest.
Commercial silvacultural activities are not the only realm where harvesting concerns enter the picture in forest management. In many situations, in fact, harvest is a planned component of
forest management. Harvesting concerns are typically secondary, however, to maintaining the desired species mix. Forest conservation is not just about conserving one species but conserving the complexity of
