Tóm tắt:Ecology is the scientific study of the interrelations among living things and their environment. Ecological knowledge effects an awareness of precarious interdependencies among the myriad organisms, large and minuscule, between organisms and nonliving components of ecosystems, and the pervasive human impacts that threaten these relations. Ecology thus obviates our dependency on, and our relation to, natural processes and systems. Perhaps no science more so than ecology has generated more knowledge with implications relating to ethics, morality and human behaviour. In contrast, silviculture is the art and science of tending forests to meet human needs. Because silviculture is usually directly involved in the extraction of biomass, it produces disturbances along with associated ecological side effects. Silviculture is thus based on the planned use of controlled and directed disturbances to achieve defined human objectives. Ideally, it should be based on scientific principles that assure that specified silvicultural goals are consistent with preserving or improving a forest’s ecological qualities, are compatible with its natural dynamic, and thereby provide reasonable assurance of the forest’s sustainability.
