100
This term refers to the amount of a resource that can be harvested or used without compromising its ability to regenerate and maintain its stock over time.
What is Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY)
100
This harvesting method involves removing all the trees in a stand at once, Lorax Style!
What is Clear-Cutting?
100
Are minerals the same as rocks?
NO!! Minerals are what make up rocks

This top layer of soil, rich in organic material, is where most plant roots grow.
What is the O horizon?

How many full school days are left before break?
6 Days!

What is different between Timber Harvesting and Deforestation?
Timber harvesting involves chopping down trees and harvesting wood from the forest. Deforestation also chops down trees but the land is cleared for other developments. Like a comically large WalmartTM parking Lot
200
This method involves leaving a small number of mature trees to regenerate the forest, with the remaining trees being harvested over time.
- Shelterwood approach
- Selection System
- Even-Aged Management
- Seed-Tree Approach
Shelterwood approach

Rocks that are formed from immense heat and pressure are reffered to as?
Metamorphic rocks!
200
Also called the topsoil, this layer contains a mix of organic material and minerals.
A horizon

What does the suffix "cide" mean?
To Kill
300
The maximum amount of organisms that an ecosystem can support or carry is known as the?
Carrying Capacity
300
In this method, only selected trees are removed, while the overall structure of the forest is maintained, promoting biodiversity.

- Selection System
- Even-Aged Management

What rocks are made from cooled magma?
Igneous Rocks!
300
This layer is also reffered to as Bedrock
D or E horizon
300
The collection of all rivers and streams in a large geographic area is referred to as?
A Watershed!
400
In this model pf resource management the goal is to ensure that the harvesting of a resource is aligned with the ability of the ecosystem to support future generations, often by adjusting based on periodic assessments or one large initial assessment.
Ecosystem based management
400
This method creates a forest with a similar age structure, achieved by harvesting all trees in an area and replanting at once.
- Shelterwood approach
- Selection System
- Even-Aged Management
- Seed-Tree Approach
Even-Aged Management
400
Rocks that are comprised of broken down weathered rocks that have been eroded away and pressed together are called?
Sedimentary Rocks!
400
What is Parent Material?
The original source material for a soil. AKA the rock that was weathered to make it.
400
When a mine destroyed the land and habitats around it and must clean up the debris. The process is known as?
Reconstitution
500
This strategy involves an ongoing process of decision-making, monitoring, and evaluation, where resource management practices evolve based on feedback from the environment and the outcomes of previous actions.
Adaptive Management
500
This approach involves leaving a few mature trees behind in a harvested area to naturally reseed the site, promoting gradual forest regeneration.
- Shelterwood approach
- Selection System
- Even-Aged Management
- Seed-Tree Approach

Describe how a sedimentary rock could be turned into a metamorphic one
If it is buried with immense heat and pressure it will become metamorphic
500
This horizon lies just above the bedrock and has big boulders.
C Horizon

The raw rock material that will be processed into refined metals and other minerals is called?
Ore!
