An introduction to silvicultural systems, including their definition, evolution, and classification. Dr. Chander Shekhar's academic background and research in this area are also discussed. Silvicultural systems are methods used to manage and grow forests, and they involve specific procedures for tending, harvesting, and replacing crops. the history of silvicultural systems, the main ideas embodied in these systems, and their applications in forest management and community needs.
