 uniform amount of seed in direct seeding in seed spots. 



Forest policy. The attitude toward forests and general method of ad- 

 ministration of public interests in forests by the State. 



Forest regulation. See Forest organization. 



Note: In the past both forest regulation and forest organization 

 have been used indiscriminately. In the absence of any English word 

 exactly equivalent to the German "Forsteinrichtung" both terms may 

 well continue to be used. 



Forest rent. See under Rent. 



Forest rental value. See under Value. 



Forest survey. The gathering and tabulation of all data in regard to 

 forest lands including plane and topographic surveying, mapping, 

 timber estimates, forest description, grazing data and land classifica- 

 tion, type and site determination, involving all the work of every kind 

 (including the construction of volume, growth and yield tables) neces- 

 sary for the making of a working plan. Forest surveys may be partial 

 or complete, more or less intensive or extensive, and of varying degree 

 of accuracy. 



Syn. : stock-taking in part. 



Forest tree nursery. An area upon which young trees are grown for 

 forest planting.

Forest type. A descriptive term used to group stands of similar charac- 

 ter as regards composition and development due to given physical and 

 biological factors, by which they may be differentiated from other 

 groups of stands. The term suggests repetition of the same character 

 under similar conditions. 



A type may be termed temporary to express the expectation of a 

 change, if its character is due to passing influences (logging, fire, etc.) ; 

 permanent if no change is expected and the character is due to physical 

 and biological (natural) factors alone; climax if it is intended to indi- 

 cate the character as the ultimate stage of a succession of temporary 

 types. 



A Cover type is a forest type now occupying the ground, no implica- 

 tion being conveyed as to whether it is temporary or permanent.
