Detailed explanation-1: -This method consists of harvesting only mature trees of the desired size, type, or quality. This method is much less disruptive to the forest environment. It is used in forests with tree species that need shade to become established. Hardwoods, such as sugar maple, are cut in this manner.

Detailed explanation-2: -The practice of removing individual plants or small groups of plants leaves, other plants standing to anchor the soil is called selective harvesting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Selective logging is the removal of selected trees within a forest based on criteria such as diameter, height or species.
