silviculturally = silvicultural (transparent) = silviculture + al + ly

Formed by standard adjective and adverb suffixation (silviculture -> silvicultural -> silviculturally), so the adverbial meaning is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Silviculturally comes from the Latin parts silva 'forest' and cultura 'cultivation', a root you also see in agriculture. So, to act silviculturally is to do something in a way that grows, cares for, or manages forests.
