Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Group Selection. This timber harvesting method is small-scale clear-cutting when a stand is cut down over 40-50 years by groups of trees. A cut-down area depends on a grown plant type: openings of less than one-quarter of an acre are suitable for shade-tolerant trees and larger spaces for sun-loving trees.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clear-cutting is a silvicultural system that removes an entire stand of trees from an area of 1 ha or more, and greater than two tree heights in width, in a single harvesting operation (Figure 5). It can be highly profitable.
