After 1975, dramatic changes occurred over the landscape in relation to clear-cutting practices, plantations, and salvage logging, which promoted the proliferation of regenerating areas and extensive plantations of the previously uncommon black spruce.
We assessed the effectiveness of guidelines enforcing Finnish legislation aimed at preserving sites occupied by the Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans), a vulnerable species in Finland and Europee), from destruction due to forest clear-cutting practices which often target its primary habitat, mature mixed forests.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts on scenic beauty and recreational value of five different management practices: small clear cutting, thinning, removal of undergrowth, natural state, and traditionally managed cultural landscape.
Still, after years of fights over logging practices, including lawsuits to reduce clear cutting on federal land, distrust of the Forest Service's motives remains.
Non-sustainable land-use practices, such as large-scale clear cutting of mangroves for aquaculture, ground water withdrawal and alteration of river flows, result in rapid subsidence.
By current practice, wood is certified as sustainable if a logging company cuts down only so many trees a year, avoids clear cutting and replants a certain percentage of what it takes.
Consider the impact of clear cutting on Canada's Great Bear Rain Forest.
Harvest may be by clear cutting (but only for pure spruce stands) or by selective cutting.
These species showed responses atypical of those observed following clear cutting and may fall outside both the range of natural variability observed in this region as well as the range of current forest management intensity practiced in North America.
Clear cutting forests produces an impact on climate change.
