Compare group selection to single-tree selection.

Answer

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.
