Timber is considered renewable because it comes from forests that can be replanted and grown again. As long as forests are managed sustainably and trees are replanted, timber can be continually harvested without depleting the resource.
Plantation timber refers to trees grown on managed plantations for commercial purposes. Advantages include sustainable production, faster growth rates compared to natural forests, and reduced pressure on natural ecosystems. Disadvantages may include risks of monoculture, potential for soil degradation, and impacts on local biodiversity if not managed properly.

Plantation timber comes from trees grown on commercial plantations specifically for harvesting, while forest timber is sourced from trees in natural forests. Plantation timber tends to have a more consistent quality and can be harvested more sustainably, whereas forest timber may vary in quality and sustainability depending on how it is managed.
Silviculture is the practice of cultivating and managing forests, specifically for the purpose of growing timber.
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. It is an international non-profit organization that promotes responsible management of the world's forests by certifying sustainable forestry practices. FSC certification ensures that timber products come from forests that are managed in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.
