The collating committee recommends the use of plain regeneration 

 for natural reproduction and reforestation for artificial reproduc-

Syn.: young growth. 



Reproduction cutting. (Regeneration cutting.) Any cutting intended to 

 invite or assist regeneration.

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. 



6. 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 (q. .). See also Seed tree method. 



G., Kahlschlagwirtschaft. F., m6thode par coupe unique. 



2. Clearcutting, with natural reproduction. Removal of entire stand 

 in one felling, 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.

Group method. Proceeds by removing groups of trees making more
