Module 3
Synopsis: Site Suitability
This module introduces participants to the principles of site–species matching and the importance of selecting tree species that are suitable to specific site conditions. Participants will explore how factors such as soil, water, climate, light, and site limitations influence species suitability and tree growth.
The module also examines species tolerance and the relationship between site quality, species requirements, and expected growth. Through practical activities, participants will learn to compare site conditions with species requirements and select suitable species for different forest sites. By the end of the module, participants will be able to explain the principles of site–species matching and apply them to support informed species selection and sustainable forest management.
