 Ripe. See Mature forest. 

 Root sucker. A sprout from a root. 



Rotation. The predetermined time period during which it is intended to 

 cut over a working group; the predetermined, approximate felling age 

 of stands. Rotation refers to the forest as a whole and is expressed 

 not by a definite year, but a period of 10 to 20 years; felling age refers 

 to a stand and a definite year. 



Rotations are determined either by technical, economic, or financial 

 considerations; silvicultural considerations exercising a limiting 

 influence. 



Technical rotations attempt to produce the maximum amount of 

 material suitable for a certain purpose, such as railroad ties, mine 

 timbers, saw logs of given size. 



Economic rotations attempt to secure either the maximum average 

 volume production, or the maximum average value production. 



Financial rotations introduce considerations of cost and attempt to 

 secure either the maximum forest rent or maximum soil rent (q. v.). 

 Syn.: income rotation.
