BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -This method involves harvesting all but a few well-distributed trees of the desired species to provide seed for natural regeneration. After adequate regeneration has been established, the seed trees are normally harvested.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clear-cutting is when an entire stand is cut for harvest. Single-tree cutting is harvesting select mature trees. Shelterwood cutting is when the forest is “thinned” of more mature trees, and a group-selected cut is when a small patch of trees is selected and cut.

Detailed explanation-3: -Forests can be harvested by clearcutting, shelterwood (including seed tree) cutting, selection cutting and high grade cutting.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three major groups of timber harvest practices; clearcutting, shelterwood and selection systems.

Detailed explanation-5: -Full-tree harvesting: A forest harvesting operation that removes the entire tree, including stem and branches, but excluding the stump and roots, out to a landing or roadside.
