| Preferred label | Femel Cutting |
| Definition | In the process of Femel cut (Femelschlag), which is similar to the shelterwood cut (Schirmschlag), the mature trees are also felled over a period of a few years. The difference is in the island-like or grouped distribution of harvested trees. I that manner, a mix of shadow-affine and sunlight affine tree species can regenerate in a balanced manner on the parcel. Through the subsequent phases of cutting, the initial spots of clear areas grow bigger in a concentric way, and all of these spots are distributed in a mosaic pattern on the woodland parcel. This harvesting method is connected with long rotation forestry. |
