  2. Thinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinning

    Thinning from below – this low thinning can be split into 4 Grades: A Grade is a very light thinning, that removes all overtopped trees Kraft crown class 4 and 5. B Grade is a very light thinning that removes overtopped trees and intermediates which are Kraft Crown class 4,5 and some 3s, C Grade and D Grade are a moderate and heavy thinning respectively removing anything that will not lead ...

  3. Ecological thinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_Thinning

    An example of ecological thinning research is the project in Victoria's Box-Ironbark forests, investigating various thinning and timber removal methods under an adaptive management or AEM framework. The primary objective is to generate (over time) a number of forest habitat values (i.e. tree hollows) that are crucial for wildlife conservation.

  4. Shelterwood cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelterwood_cutting

    Forest thinning in Finland. Thinning is similar to and can be implemented instead of preparatory cutting. [5] Preparatory cutting thins the stand removing species that are not desired so that they do not contribute seeds to the establishment cut. This also allows the remaining trees to grow faster and produce more seed.

  5. Coppicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppicing

    Coppicing / ˈ k ɒ p ɪ s ɪ ŋ / is the traditional method in woodland management of cutting down a tree to a stump, which in many species encourages new shoots to grow from the stump or roots, thus ultimately regrowing the tree. A forest or grove that has been subject to coppicing is called a copse / k ɒ p s / or coppice, in which young ...

  6. Salvage logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvage_logging

    However, there is little evidence to support such claims, [4] and most evidence supports the view that salvage logging is harmful to forest health and function. [5] As with other logging operations, the harvesting may be either by selection, thinning or clearcutting, and a regeneration plan may be put in place after the logging. Salvage logging ...

  7. Clearcutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearcutting

    This practice can reduce the genetic viability of the forest over time, resulting in poorer or less vigorous offspring in the stand. [citation needed] Clearcutting also differs from a coppicing system, by allowing revegetation by seedlings. Additionally, destructive forms of forest management are commonly referred to as 'clearcutting'.
