Here are some additional forest or natural resource related glossaries that I ran across in my search for definitions. If you wish to see what I have complied for "forest, deforestation, reforestation, and afforestation" and related terms see http://home.att.net/~gklund/DEFpaper.html If any of your favorite published or official definitions are missing from this list, please pass them on to me. I will be preparing a similar document for old growth, virgin forests, etc. in a week or so and will send out a note when it is available on the web.
