What part of it don't you comprehend?

What he does besides cut the wood out of once fertile forest - tree farming
CUT

Where tree biology falls into the picture.

Every where, unlike you, I have the education, and the experience. What
do you have, deadwood?

An uderstanding of tree biology for starters.


If you understand tree biology than please explain why the only treatment
you offer is cutting out the wood?

How do you help forest with respect to the ecological stages of trees and
things like fungi diversity? Please comment.

Do you use a SHIGOMETER and if not why not?

You have fancy names but have yet to even define what you mean when you say
"forest"? What is a forest to you besides future tree farms to get the wood
out?

You say soil mapping? What is the optimum fertility levels for Eastern
hemlock. Or in Texas, what is the optimum fertility level for live oaks?

What is an urban forest? Please define what you mean when you say forest.

How do you manage wildlife? By helping people not miss the opportunity to
salvage the wood from the wildlife. You are a taker.
