Maintaining stands of trees that are all around the same age.
Method of forest management in which trees, sometimes of a single species in a given stand, are maintained at about the same age and size and are harvested all at once. Compare uneven-aged management.
The practice of cultivating a forest with trees of a common age and a common species mix (usually pine, fir or hemlock) for the purpose of intensive timber production. The process usually entails planting seedlings in plantations, removing poor performing trees over time and ultimately clear-cutting the final, mature crop in preparation for replanting.
timber management methods that result in the creation of forest stands in which all trees are essentially the same age.
A system of forest management in which stands are produced or maintained with relatively minor differences in age.
A system of forest management designed to maintain or improve the overall quality of stands of trees that are the same age or in the same age class.
The methods used to regenerate and maintain a stand with a single age class.
managing a forest or forest stand to produce a forest of trees of the same relative age. Even-aged management techniques include intermediate treatments, clearcuts, patch clearcuts, and shelterwood cuts.
A forest management method in which all trees in an area are harvested at one time or in several cuttings over a short time to produce stands that are all the same age or nearly so. This management method is commonly applied to shade-intolerant conifers and hardwoods.
A forest management method used to produce stands that are all the same age or nearly the same age by harvesting all trees in an area at one time or in several cuttings over a short time. This management method is commonly applied to shade-intolerant conifers and hardwoods.
silvicultural system which creates forest stands that are primarily of a single are or limited range of ages. Creation of even-aged stands may be accomplished through the clear-cut, seed tree or shelterwood methods. ( FSEIS Feb. 94, Glossary-6)
