  1. Shelterwood cutting

    cleanup date March 2009 Shelterwood cutting is a silviculture silvicultural system in which tree trees are logging removed in a series of cuts designed to achieve a new even aged stand under the shelter of remaining trees. ref cite web title Glossary of Forestry Terms in British Columbia publisher Ministry of Forests and Range Canada date 2008 03 url http www.for.gov.bc.ca hfd library documents glossary Glossary.pdf format pdf accessdate 2009 04 06 ref It is similar to Selection cutting selective and Silviculture Common methods seed tree cutting in that it the ground is never left completely bare. Compared to clearcutting, shelterwood systems cause less damage to the site ecologically and aesthetically. Shelterwood systems may be used with even aged or uneven aged forest stands. The result of shelterwood cutting is a single aged stand. The first cut removes most canopy trees, unwanted tree species, and diseased, defective, and dying trees. Enough trees must be removed to allow for natural regeneration to occur. Once enough seedlings have taken hold, a second cut removes more canopy trees but leaves some of the best mature trees to shelter the young trees. After perhaps another decade, a third cut removes the remaining mature trees and the remaining uniformly aged stand of young trees grows to maturity. There are many variations on the shelterwood system. If seedlings are present under the uncut stand advance regeneration , the first cut may not be necessary. Also, if enough regeneration is present after the first cut, the second cut may not be necessary. Although the term shelterwood denotes a process whereby older trees provide shelter to the younger trees, the shelterwood system provides benefits other than providing shelter. One benefit is that the older trees continue to increase in value after the regeneration process has begun. ref Smith, D.M., B.C. Larson, M.J. Kelty, P.M.S.
