Detailed explanation-1: -A clearcut is an area of forestland where most of the standing trees are logged at the same time and a few trees remain post-harvest. Forested buffers are left around streams and lakes, and the area is replanted within two years of harvest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deforestation is tree felling without further reforestation like in illegal logging or slash-and-burn practices. Deforestation rates differ globally. For example, the forest lands in North Carolina are mostly private.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three major groups of timber harvest practices; clearcutting, shelterwood and selection systems.
Detailed explanation-4: -: the removal of all the trees in an area of forest. Long considered a “trash tree” by the timber industry, the number of Pacific yews has been drastically reduced-perhaps halved-by clear-cutting, the logging practice that totally strips a targeted area.
