Uneven-Aged Management of Northern Hardwoods in New England

摘要

Three main aspects of uneven-aged management in northern hardwoods are discussed: (1) choice of cutting method, including selection, group selection, and patch selection; (2) control of yields, which involves the establishment of structural goals, the control of marking operations, and the prediction of allowable harvest; and (3) the transportation or removal of products--truck roads, skid-roads, and harvesting precautions.
