Detailed explanation-1: -A forest stand is a contiguous community of trees sufficiently uniform in composition, structure, age, size, class, distribution, spatial arrangement, condition, or location on a site of uniform quality to distinguish it from adjacent communities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even-aged stands are ones where the range of tree ages within a stand do not vary by more than 20% or so. Plantation forests are the best example of even-aged stands, as often they are created using seedlings or clones from a common set of parents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Afforestation is the establishment of a forest or stands of trees in an area where there was no forest. Reforestation is the reestablishment of forest cover, either naturally or artificially.
