Silvicultural harvesting methods:
Remember, the choice of silvicultural method must be based upon the silvics and characteristics of the existing species in a stand and upon the species deemed desirable to grow in that future stand. These are only some of the many silvicultural methods--by no means have I covered them all. I have simply chosen a few that seem to apply most often in Appalachian hardwoods. Each method has its place in different areas, in different terrains, on different soils, in different timber types, and with different landowners.
