Question 7

Compare the practices of shelterwood cutting, clearcutting, and seed-tree cutting.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Clearcutting removes every tree in an area at once, which is highly disruptive. Shelterwood cutting removes trees gradually in stages, leaving mature trees to shelter seedlings. Seed-tree cutting leaves only a few scattered mature trees to provide seeds for new growth before eventual removal.

Question 8

Compare group selection to single-tree selection.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Group selection harvests clusters of trees to create small openings that mimic natural gaps and allow shade-intolerant species to grow. Single-tree selection removes individual mature or diseased trees scattered throughout the stand, maintaining a more continuous canopy cover and favoring shade-tolerant species.
