Detailed explanation-1: -Selective Logging Is The Most Sustainable Method Of Harvesting Trees. Although there are many benefits of using selective logging as the most sustainable method of harvesting trees, there are also many disadvantages.

Detailed explanation-2: -Selective logging is the removal of selected trees within a forest based on criteria such as diameter, height or species. Remaining trees are left in the stand, as opposed to clearcutting where all trees are felled. This intervention is similar to several others that involve harvesting some, but not all, trees.

Detailed explanation-3: -Selective logging is a more ecologically sustainable practice than clear-cutting, which entails removing all trees at the same time. The idea behind selective logging is to maintain an uneven or all-aged forest of trees varying not only in age, but in size and species as well.

Detailed explanation-4: -Selective logging only cuts down certain trees (valuable trees), whereas clear-cutting cuts down all of the trees.
