The presentation explores how tree species\u2019 life histories and ecological growth influence forest development and management outcomes. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"style-scope ytd-text-inline-expander\"><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap\" dir=\"auto\" role=\"text\"><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\">Topics include definitions of silvics, shade tolerance, regeneration strategies, disturbance (such as fire and wind) and how different species respond to environmental conditions over time. The webinar provides a clear foundation for understanding forest ecology and applying that knowledge to sustainable management and conservation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_63848\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\"  data-relstop=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P5OyAPpMtIU?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@purduefnrextension\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purdue Extension &#8211; Forestry and Natural Resources YouTube Channel<\/a> for more videos and webinars covering urban and forestry management, woodlands and wildlife.<\/p>\n<div class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\">\n<p id=\"items\" class=\"style-scope ytd-structured-description-content-renderer\"><strong>Resources:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLgoGnq-fak7XgiEFkpuQNAFa0rM4elCis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Woodland Stewardship for Landowners YouTube Playlist<\/a>, Purdue Extension \u2013 FNR<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLgoGnq-fak7WCC1_Xea_3KNOsXEq8dWtG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wildlife Habitat Hint YouTube Playlist<\/a>, Purdue Extension \u2013 FNR<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLgoGnq-fak7VTTnF4Bh9HvQnB_azYbAfY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Woodland Management Moment YouTube Playlist<\/a>, Purdue Extension \u2013 FNR<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLgoGnq-fak7VPjD7DpNPWCoNrhCdBFUIt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Invasive Species YouTube Playlist<\/a>, Purdue Extension \u2013 FNR<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/fnr\/extension\/program-impacts\/forest-management-for-the-private-woodland-owner-course\/\">Forest Management for the Private Woodland Owner Course<\/a> &#8211; Got Nature?
