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 method of regenerating a standin which all trees in the previous stand are cut and the majority of regeneration is from sprouts or root suckers

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

A method of regenerating an even aged stand in which a new age class develops in a fully exposed microclimate after removal, in a single cubing, of all trees in the previous stand. Clearcutting results in an even aged stand. It can be done in groups.

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.

A method of regenerating an even aged stand in which a new age class develops underneaththe moderated microenvironment provided by the residual trees.Cutting may be done uniformly throughout the stand, in groups or patches, or in strips.

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

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

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)

The root pruning of seedlings in a nursery bed to limit the extension of roots in depth or laterally
