Hardwood trees are mostly deciduous trees with broad leaves that fall every autumn. Hardwoods are vital resources in agriculture and industry and provide durable wood used in furniture, flooring, and construction, making them an essential part of the economy and everyday life.
The management and harvesting of hardwoods highlight the sustainable forestry practices within agriculture. By carefully managing these forests, farmers and foresters ensure a continuous supply of high-quality wood products while preserving natural ecosystems. About American Agri-Women:
