Selective cutting involves the removal of individual trees or small groups of mature trees while leaving other trees in the area undisturbed. This method of harvesting preserves the structure and function of the forest ecosystem and helps maintain biodiversity. Seed-tree cutting involves leaving a few mature trees behind to provide seeds for regeneration, clear-cutting involves removing all trees from an area, shelterwood cutting involves removing trees in a series of stages over a period of time, and strip cutting involves removing trees in narrow strips with wide areas left untouched.
