Detailed explanation-1: -Selective logging is the most profitable timber-harvesting method, which explains its choice for economic reasons.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, clearcutting is often used in Douglas-fir forests because new seedlings need direct sunlight to grow quickly. In eastern Oregon, most common tree species are more shade tolerant, so landowners are freer to use selective harvest methods such as thinning to allow trees to naturally regenerate.
