A regeneration method adapted for shade tolerant species whereby each small even-aged component of an uneven-aged stand occupies the space created by the removal of a single mature individual or small clumps of several such trees.
A method of logging in which trees are cut individually over an entire stand, according to a target distribution of size classes. This method of cutting produces an uneven-aged stand with trees in a wide variety of ages and sizes, and is best suited to trees that grow well in a somewhat shaded environment.
an uneven-aged silvicultural harvest system that removes selected trees to create canopy gaps. Trees selected for removal may be healthy or diseased, depending on the goals of the landowner.
An uneven-aged harvest and regeneration system of selecting individual trees. Trees of any or all sizes are selected for harvest based on their individual merits, as compared to their closest counterparts. This system is suitable for species that regenerate under partially open canopies where filtered sunlight reaches the floor.
Individual trees of all size classes are removed, as uniformly as possible, throughout the stand to promote the growth of remaining trees and to provide space for regeneration.
removal of single trees distributed throughout a harvest area.
Technique used in uneven-aged timber management that selects single trees within a stand for harvesting.
