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.

Webinars are live on the third Wednesday of each month, for an hour each at noon and again at 7PM.  The noon session is recorded and posted in an archive of webinars here.
