Meaning of some forestry terms

An Sionnach Glic

Hi all,

I was reading through a forestry document recently and there were a few terms I didn't understand and I was wondering if you could explain them/define them for me please. Any links to dictionaries or glossaries of forestry terminology as support would be much appreciated as well.

The terms are 'ride', 'gland' and 'scalloped' (as in 'scalloped woodland edge)'.

I'm not a forestry expert by any means, but hopefully this helps. If you type "Forestry terminology glossary" into the Google search engine and the word your looking up, you should get all the information you need.

RIDE Permanent unsurfaced and unplanted route within
woodlands used for access, demarcation, extraction, shooting and
to encourage light-loving species conservation.

Not sure if you meant gland or glade; see last link below.
In plants, a gland is defined functionally as a plant structure which secretes one or more products. This may be located on or near the plant surface and secrete externally, or be internal to the plant and secrete into a canal or reservoir. Examples include glandular hairs, nectaries, hydathodes, and the resin canals in Pinus.[1]

Scallop as in the shape of a scallop cut into the woodland.
