In this paper we present a field-based practical exercise that allows students in forestry, ecology and natural resources to develop their understanding of forest stand dynamics. The involves measurement key tree growth parameters four even-aged, single-species plantation stands different age but occupying sites with similar soil environmental characteristics. selected represent stages development, from establishment rotation for maximum fibre production. the field, work small teams gather...
