>> |Type of Cutting|Description|Pros|Cons|
>> |:--------------|:----------|:---|:---|
>> |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|
>> |Shelterwood|Only cut down some species of trees|Productive, less harm to the environment|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```
