what is scientific forestry ?

example:
Percival Baxter was a man of vision. After all, he gave the people of Maine what is now Baxter State Park, including careful stipulations about how it should be managed. He left it to be "forever wild," and we can be forever grateful. Baxter further stipulated that 28,500 acres in the northwest corner of the park be set aside for silviculture and the study of forestry. Baxter had visited forests in places like Finland, Sweden, and Germany. These visits inspired his vision of a special forest here in Maine. This area has become the Scientific Forestry Management Area (SFMA). It is well managed, a splendid example of forestry which does not destroy the forest, and a beautiful place to visit.
After several decades of dormancy and several false starts, the planning and operation of the SFMA got going in the mid 1980's. In 1987 Jensen Bissell, current head of the forestry operations, arrived. Jensen is in his mid 40's, has tousled dark hair and wire-rim spectacles. This man can walk at a brisk and vigorous pace through woods all day long. He may be the happiest man in Maine. He studied forestry at Syracuse and loves the scientific, intellectual side. He worked for the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon for ten years and knows that there will inevitably be a pragmatic, economic aspect to forests and their harvest. As head of the SFMA he can combine both, and apparently there is nothing else on earth that he would rather be doing.

The SFMA has been separated into different management areas - harvested previous to 1987, harvested 1987 to 1997, unharvested and unaccessed forest, fire origin stands, and reserve/riparian areas. Roads have been cut through the forest, but they are not accessible to the general public, and they have been designed to have the least possible impact. Nevertheless, there is a certain sadness to roads cut through these beautiful woods.

The tour traverses most of the roads with several stops to get out and walk the woods. On one stop we walked through a section which was harvested last year, crossed a reserve section which has not been harvested, and entered a section which was harvested three years ago. The biggest differences were the slash on the forest floor and the amount of light. The trees had not been damaged by the equipment, the canopy was intact (albeit thinner), and the forest was healthy. Just walking these woods demonstrated that the forest does not have to be destroyed in order to harvest it.

The SFMA needs more baseline information. Although some information goes back a long way (Thoreau commented on the loss of the large white pine while canoeing Webster Stream in 1848), more information is still needed. Information is needed which can be used this year or next as well as 100 years from now. They are collecting temperatures from streams and constantly doing inventories of tree species. They are even collecting population information on Red-backed Salamanders.

Scientific forestry was a method of preserving forest first practised in the  Imperial Forest Institute set up at Dehradun by Brandis. In this type of forestry, natural forests with same type of trees were cut and replaced by same kind of trees in straight rows. this is commonly referred to as PLANTATION. Forest officials, then surveyed the land and planned how much plantations area to be cut every year. The area cut was then replanted so that it was ready to be cut again.

Scientific Forestry is a kind of forestry in which natural forests were cut i.e., all trees were cut irrespective of their kind and in their place, a single kind of trees was planted in rows. this planting of trees in rows is called plantation.
   Also, this Scientific Forestry is not considered scientific at all since it is just a kind of deforestation in the name of forestry.

1) Scientific forestry was adopted in France and Germany in which the mode of forest exploitation was based on the scientific forestry 2) This forestry was adopted in the backup that forest is also an exhaustible resource 3) Under this system the forest having of mixture of plant species were to be replaced by the straight rows of single species of plants 4) It was introduced by Duetrich Brandis the first inspector general of forest in india DEFECTS 1) In this system natural forest diversity was harmed because the varieties of trees were cut down 2) This system advocated only those trees in forest which provided timber 3) This snatched the livelihood of the forest dwellers 4) This slowly brought them into plantations

Scientific Forestry

This is one of the the methods of forest management under which natural forests are cut down, and in their place, one type of trees are planted (mostly under colonial rule in British India). However later, Indian agriculturists analysed it, it was not at all Scientific. 

In my opinion also, our Indians were right, and the colonial government only thought of its own profit, especially for England.


Hope this helps!!!
