|

>> |:--------------|:----------|:---|:---|
|
||||
>> |Clear Cutting|Clears an entire land of trees|Very productive and efficient, Cheap|Harms the environment too much|
|
||||
>> |Selective Cutting|Only cut down some species of trees|Productive, less harm to the environment|Costly|
|
||||
>> |Sheltwater Logging|Only cut trees of the desired type, color quality etc|Sustainable practice|Not productive, Very costly|

|

>> |Selective Cutting|Only cut trees of the desired type, color quality etc|Sustainable practice|Not productive, Very costly|
|
||||
|
||||
>> ### Clear-Cutting
|
||||
>> - Use in most logging operations
|
||||
>> - ```Remove``` every single tree, leaving barren landscape behind
|
||||
>> - Most trees are replanted in rows on columns so they can be later cut ```uniformly and easily```
|
||||
>> - If no replanting, less desirable species of trees may grow and soil erosion
|
||||
|
||||
>> ### Shelter wood
|
||||
>> - ```Clear cutting``` groups in a forest
|
||||
>> - Seed bearing ttrees are left standing so newer generations of trees can grow
|
||||
>> - Seeds ```regenerate``` logged areas
|
||||
>> - Shelterwood is used in forests with trees around the ```same age```
|
||||
>> - Generations of ```older and younger``` trees is the result
|
||||
|
||||
>> ### Selective Cutting
|
||||
>> - ```Mature``` trees are only cut
|
||||
>> - ```Desired size, type of quality``` is taken into account
|
||||
>> - ```Less disruptive``` to the environment, but ```costly``` to find trees
|
||||
>> - Does not allow the replanting of a new ```uniform forest```
