Sentence examples for Selective harvest from inspiring English sources

This was done for both clear-cut and selective harvest types, general descriptions of these harvests in the Biome-BGC context have been described previously [20].

Both empirical and modeling studies suggest that intense size-selective harvest selects for individuals that grow more slowly, mature at smaller sizes and younger ages, and increase reproductive investment (Conover and Munch 2002; Enberg et al. 2009; Nusslé et al. 2009; Sharpe and Hendry 2009).
