Large softcover book. Book II. Silviculture is the practice of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests to meet diverse needs and values. The name comes from the Latin silvi- (forest) + culture (as in growing). The study of forests and woods is termed silvology. Silviculture also focuses on making sure that the treatment(s) of forest stands are used to preserve and to better their productivity.1 To some the distinction between forestry and silviculture is that silviculture is applied at the stand level and forestry is broader. For example John D. Matthews says "complete regimes for regenerating, tending, and harvesting forests" are called "silvicultural systems".2 So active management is required for silviculture, whereas forestry can be natural, conserved land without a stand level treatment being applied. A common taxonomy divides silviculture into regenerating, tending and harvesting techniques.

James William Toumey was born on April 17, 1865 in Lawrence, Mich. He was the son of Dennis and Mary (Buckley) Toumey. His youth was spent on his father's farm.
His early education was in the local schools. He prepared for college at the high school in Decatur, Mich. , but taught school for some years before entering the Michigan Agricultural College, from which he graduated in 1889.
He was appointed instructor in botany at the Michigan Agricultural College in 1890. In 1891 he was called to the University of Arizona, where he remained until 1898, having advanced to a professorship in botany. At the same time he also held the position of botanist in the Arizona State Agricultural Experiment Station, and served as acting director of the Station in 1897-98.
While in Arizona he made notable investigations in the fields of botany and entomology, with special work on the date palm and on the cacti. He visited England in 1899 to assist in arranging the collection of cacti at Kew. In 1899 he was appointed superintendent of tree planting in the division of forestry, United States Department of Agriculture. The following year the Yale School of Forestry was established and Toumey became one of the two regular members of the staff. From 1910 to 1922 he served as dean and during this period he materially enlarged the endowments, physical facilities, and forest properties of the institution.
In 1922 he retired from the deanship in order to devote his entire efforts to teaching and research. He possessed exceptional ability to inspire research activities in others and directed basic studies in plant physiology and in ecology as affecting the growth and development of trees and forests. He gave a new emphasis to the importance of soil moisture as one of the factors governing the survival of young trees in the forest.
His books, Seeding and Planting in the Practice of Forestry (1916), revised by Toumey and Clarence F. Korstian in 1931, and Foundations of Silviculture upon an Ecological Basis (1928), are standard works. He initiated a series of scientific bulletins at the Yale School of Forestry and he wrote extensively for forestry journals and other periodicals. His writings cover a wide range of subjects, including forestry articles of a popular nature, and though they were dominantly of a scientific character, they include discussions on applied silviculture, forest taxation, watershed protection, forest economics, and public forest policy.
He died on May 6, 1932 in New Haven.
James William Toumey was widely known among scholars both in the United States and abroad. Because of his scholarly attitude and his vigorous personality he played a prominent part in formulating a program of forest education and in building the scientific foundations of the practice of forestry in America.

Toumey was twice married: first, June 17, 1897, to Constantia H. Blake of New Haven, who died in 1904 leaving a son; second, in 1908, to Nannie Trowbridge of New Haven.
