Modern
forestry generally concerns itself with assisting forests to provide timber as raw material for wood products; wildlife habitat; natural water quality regulation; recreation;
landscape and community protection; employment; aesthetically appealing landscapes;
and a 'sink'
for atmospheric carbon
dioxide. A practitioner of forestry is known as a forester.
Forests have come to be seen as one of the most important components of the biosphere,
and forestry has emerged as a vital field of science, applied art, and
technology.
