REPRODUCTION METHODS 



from markets may be handled as a single stand of irregular 

 age. The same forest if located within five miles of a large 

 city may be divided into twenty to one hundred different sub- 

 divisions or stands most of which are classed as even-aged. 



The same cutting which in the first instance has to be 

 classed as selection may in the second furnish examples of 

 clearcutting and shelterwood methods.

Map of portion of forest property showing the division into subcompart- 

 ments (stands) based on type distinctions and (within the same tj^ie) upon 

 lo year age class differences. The upper figures are the sub-compartment 

 numbers, while those below the type name indicate the age class. 



Due consideration of all these factors in their relations 

 with one another should be given in analyzing a reproduction 

 method in its application in the forest. 



Classification of Reproduction Methods. — The classification 

 of reproduction methods which will be used agrees in all 

 but one particular with that given in Forest Terminology.* 



* The difference comes in including under the clearcutting method, repro- 

 duction both artificially and naturally secured, which are listed as two separate 

 methods under Forest Terminology, in Journal of Forestry, Vol. XV, p. 89.
