One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept and scope of silviculture

Silviculture is the branch of forestry concerned with establishing, tending, protecting, and regenerating forest stands to meet stated objectives. For examination purposes, you must master both the meaning of silviculture and its scope, because questions often test the difference between silviculture and general forestry, as well as the activities included in silvicultural practice.
