2. Hand felling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_felling

   A good rule of thumb for all felling scenarios is to make the depth of the face cut or undercut, which is your directional angles notch face the way you want the tree to fall, roughly equal to 1/3 the diameter of the tree. [5] Additionally, one should leave about 10% for your holding wood or hinge wood to direct the tree on its way to the ...

3. Stump harvesting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stump_harvesting

   The stump is the base of the trunk and the attached woody roots. Tree stumps and roots are extracted using a hydraulic head on a tracked excavator or with a mechanical head equipped by a special tool for tractors. Stump harvesting is expected to provide an increasing component of the woody material required by the woody biomass power sector in ...

4. Logging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logging

   Cut-to-length logging is the process of felling, delimbing, bucking, and sorting (pulpwood, sawlog, etc.) at the stump area, leaving limbs and tops in the forest. Mechanical harvesters fell the tree, delimb, and buck it, and place the resulting logs in bunks to be brought to the landing by a skidder or forwarder. This method is routinely ...

5. Cut-to-length logging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-to-length_logging

   Cut-to-length logging (CTL) is a mechanized harvesting system in which trees are delimbed and cut to length directly at the stump. [1] CTL is typically a two-man, two-machine operation with a harvester felling, delimbing, and bucking trees and a forwarder transporting the logs from the felling to a landing area close to a road accessible by ...

6. Grubbing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grubbing

   Grubbing or clearing is the removal of trees, shrubs, stumps and rubbish from a site. This is often at the site where a transportation or utility corridor, a road or power line, an edifice or a garden is to be constructed. Grubbing is performed following clearance of trees to their stumps, preceding construction. [1]

7. Tree topping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_topping

   If a large tree is unable to produce enough sugars to feed the roots, it will slowly die from starvation. [4] Some people have been known to top trees in order to stimulate new growth. When a tree is topped, many adventitious shoots, known as suckers begin to grow from the wound. This is the tree's response to the sudden loss of leaves.
