Our study indicates that energy biomass can be harvested from young downy birch thickets efficiently by clear-cutting with appropriate machinery.
Status quo management is dominantly clear-cutting with 3 20% of each harvest unit retained as mature patches, with reforestation by planting in the remainder.
Modeling the effect of forest clear-cutting with a distributed hydrological model can be used to detect hydrologic changes as an alternative to paired-catchment studies, and also to estimate the hydrologic sensitivity of a catchment to assist in forest management decisions.
Each of the three scenarios (see Table 1) captures different levels of clear-cutting, with the environmentally focused B1 scenario representing lower levels of clear-cutting than the economically focused A1B and A2 scenarios.

As land becomes more urbanized, "it becomes harder to manage with clear cutting and aerial spraying," said Jon Rose, president of the Olympic Property Group, Pope's real estate development subsidiary.
Niemistö et al. (2012) found that retaining the understorey spruces decreased the productivity of cutting by 6 17% as compared with clear cutting where the understorey was not considered.
The most controversial of the new papers, by University of Maine biologist Les Watling and Eliot Norse of the Marine Conservation Biology Institute, based in Redmond, Washington, equates the undersea habitat damage caused by trawling with clear cutting.
Clear cutting is permitted, however, with certain restrictions, in protected forests; and thinnings as well.
Cultivation of land with the clear cutting of natural forests has been the main CO2 emission that may be ascribed to the agricultural sector94.
