Across the globe, scientific forest management practices have gained momentum as forest resources were treated as a production forestry which eventually turned into protection forestry in the climate change scenario. The inculcation of scientific forest principles has helped to manage forest effectively both for production and protection role for favouring human sustenance. Many of the scientific principles were termed into different forest terminologies for easy understanding across the globe.
