Question 10 • IC Environmental Science - Deering

Compare group selection to single-tree selection.

Answer

Answer:

Single-tree selection removes individual trees scattered throughout a forest and maintains a continuous, uneven-aged canopy. Group selection removes several trees together in small patches, creating openings that allow more sunlight and space for new growth. Both methods are selective harvests, but group selection creates larger gaps than single-tree selection.
