Detailed explanation-1: -Harvesting includes marking the trees to be removed (in selective cutting), felling and processing (conversion) of trees, and transportation of the wood from the felling site, or stump area, to a roadside storage site or a central processing yard (landing) in the forest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although there are many harvest methods used in managing forest lands, there are only two silvicultural systems, uneven-aged and even-aged management. Within the even-aged category, there are three silvicultural harvest methods recognized by the Society of American Foresters: clearcutting, shelterwood, and seed tree.
Detailed explanation-3: -What Is Clear-Cutting? Clear-cuts are forest-felling when all or most of the trees are removed in the selected area at the same time. The method is the most commercially attractive and thus the most typical one. Commonly, trees are cut uniformly.
