Detailed explanation-1: -Clearcutting, clearfelling or clearcut logging is a forestry/logging practice in which most or all trees in an area are uniformly cut down.
Detailed explanation-2: -: the removal of all the trees in an area of forest. Long considered a “trash tree” by the timber industry, the number of Pacific yews has been drastically reduced-perhaps halved-by clear-cutting, the logging practice that totally strips a targeted area.
Detailed explanation-3: -A clearcut is an area of forestland where most of the standing trees are logged at the same time and a few trees remain post-harvest. Forested buffers are left around streams and lakes, and the area is replanted within two years of harvest.
Detailed explanation-4: -"Cleaning” and “weeding” are two similar terms referring to the practice of selecting particularly desirable trees in a young stand and removing or killing trees that threaten their survival or development.
