Solution

Selection cutting is the silvicultural practice of harvesting trees in a way that moves a forest stand towards an uneven-aged or all-aged condition .Selection silviculture', manages the establishment, continued growth and final harvest of multiple age classesof trees within a stand.

There are significant ecological benefits associated with it. Uneven-aged stands generally exhibit higher levels of vertical structure and have higher levels of carbon sequestration, and produce a more constant flow of market and non-market forest resources than even-aged stands.Because of this silvicultural method also protects forest soils from the adverse effects of many types of even-aged silviculture, including nutrient loss, erosion and soil compaction and the rapid loss of organic material from a forested system.
