| Definition | With the clear-cut method, all trees of a parcel are felled at once, no other trees are left standing for further growth. A clear cut is therefore the last step in the process of timber production. After a clear cut – if forestry use is continued on the land unit - , a new plantation cycles starts with replanting seedlings or leave the unit to natural succession. Other than forestry continuation, also orther land use type can take over after a final clear cut. Then it is not anymore under forestry management. This harvesting method can be seen connected with all forestry rotation systems. |
