A treatment designed to free young trees from undesirable, usually overtopping, competing vegetation. Treatments include cleaning, liberating, and weeding.

A coppice method in which reserve trees are retained to attain goals other than regeneration. The method normally creates a two- aged stand

Trees,pole-sized or larger, retained in either a dispersed or aggregated manner after the regeneration period under the clearcutting, Seed tree, Shelter wood, or coppice methods (syn. standards)

A thinning that does not yield trees of commercial value, usually designed to reduce stocking in order to concentrate growth on the more desirable trees

A cutting method by which a new age class is created. The major methods are clearcutting, Seed Tree, shelterwood, election, and Coppice.

A stand in which three or more distinct age classes occupy approxamatley equal areas and provide a balanced distribution of diameter classes.

An even aged regeneration method in which a new age class develops from seeds that germinate in fully exposed microenvironment after removal of all the previous stand except a small number of trees left to provide seed. Seed trees are then removed.
