Why trees grow where they do
Karen Bennett
Forestry Extension Specialist
University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension
February 18, 2015
The forests of today aren’t the same as the forests of yesterday. What kind of forests can and should woodlot owners manage for tomorrow? Understanding what trees grow well and where is one of the foundations of such forest management decisions. Soils, climate, geology, tree biology, human actions, and natural disturbance all contribute to why trees are growing where they do. We will explore the basics of tree biology, forest ecology and human actions to explore why trees grow where they do.

Why Trees Grow Where They Do, Karen Bennett, University of New Hampshire Forestry Specialist.
Wednesday February 18, 2015. Live, one hour each, at noon and 7PM
Connection details below.
Instructions:
- Read all these instructions.
- You need a personal registration identification number to join this month’s webinar. There is unlimited space for participants, the ID simply provides you the necessary access code. Obtain your registration ID via: https://cornell.webex.com/cornell/onstage/g.php?d=649648064&t=a If prompted for a password, use ForestConnect1 (the word “ForestConnect” and the number “1”, without spaces and capitalize the first “F” and the first “C”)
- On the webpage where the above link takes you, look for the option to “register” to receive your “registration id” number. Note this page also includes the option to download resources related to this webinar (if available).
- Wait for the email that contains your personal “registration id” number (a couple minutes at most usually).
- Pasted below is an example of the email you will receive after following the preceding steps.
- As illustrated in my example below, join the webinar via the “click here” button to open into your default web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox). The “click here” button should open into the webinar, or display a page indicating the webinar is not active. If the webinar is not active, that means the host isn’t connected and you will need to wait until the host connects. If the page opens into a rather generic “Cisco WebEx” page then your browser may not be compatible with WebEx and you should copy and paste the full link (see example below, it follows “click here”) into an alternate web browser. Using an alternate web browser usually solves most connection problems.
- Test the sound capacity of your computer by accessing a website with sound (e.g., video clip on a news website, Youtube, etc.).
- As you enter the webinar, you may be asked to test your media player. If so, you will need to complete that step.
- As you enter the webinar, you will be given the option to download software; you can bypass that step and enter the webinar directly. I’m not aware of any problems that have arisen from downloading the software (which streamlines subsequent access, but you should make this decision for yourself.
