How does seed-cutting differ from shelterwood cutting?

Answer
A
Shelterwood cutting removes all trees within a given area.
B
Shelterwood cutting takes place over several years.
C
Seed-cutting takes place over several years.
D
Seed-cutting is more damaging to the natural environment.

Explanation

Shelterwood cutting removes trees in a series of harvests over several years, allowing new trees to grow under the remaining canopy before the final harvest. Seed-cutting typically leaves a few seed-producing trees after most of the stand is cut. Therefore, the correct choice is “Shelterwood cutting takes place over several years.”
