 Reproduction method. {Regeneration method.) An orderly procedure or process by 

 which a forest is renewed or established, either naturally or artificially. The 

 following methods may be distinguished : 



1. Clearcutting, with artificial reproduction. 



2. Clearcutting, with natural regeneration. 



3. Seed tree 'method. 



4. Selection. 



5. Shelterwood. 



6. Coppice. 



7. Coppice with standards — Composite forest. 

 These methods are defined and explained as follows: 



1. Clearcutting with artificial reproduction. Removal of the entire stand in one 

 cut with artificial reproduction or reforestation by direct seeding or by planting 

 (g.,t.) See also Seed tree method. 



G., Kahlschlagwirtschaft. F., methode par coupe unique. 



2. Clearcutting, with natural reproduction. Removal of entire stand in one fell- 

 ing, regeneration taking place by seed from the marginal stand or seed in the 

 ground. Differentiation may be made according to the form of felling area into 

 strip and group method. 



Strip method. Cutting a strip, and, when regeneration has taken place by 

 marginal seeding, seaming an additional strip and proceeding in this manner from 

 year to year or period to period. A variant called Strip method in echelons (G., 

 Kulissenhieb, Springschlag. F., coupe par bandes alternes) opens strips in several 

 places at the same time and then proceeds similarly by seaming. 



G., Saumhieb. F., coupe par bandes.) 



Group method. Proceeds by removing groups of trees making more or less 

 irregular openings and enlarging these until the entire stand is removed.
