| Definition | Also the strip cutting method (de: Saumschlag) is applied to fell the trees in mature forest stands not all at once, but stepwise, stretched over several years. The progression of the felling starts at the outer edge of a woodland parcel, and moves year by years towards the opposite side of the parcel. In doing so, the light and micro-weather conditions change slowly, as more trees are taken out, and also different species can succeed, having different ecological requirements. The cutting is executed in such a way, that the still standing trees protect the cleared area with the succeeding seedlings from the main wind direction. This harvesting method is connected with long rotation forestry. |
