Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An uneven-aged stand is a mosaic of tiny even-aged clumps and scattered individuals woven together through a perpetual cycle of random disturbances. In nature these disturbances contribute to scattered mortality, allowing for temporal waves of different age-classes dispersed throughout the stand.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even-aged stands are ones where the range of tree ages within a stand do not vary by more than 20% or so. Plantation forests are the best example of even-aged stands, as often they are created using seedlings or clones from a common set of parents.
