Precommercial Thinning and Pruning Sample Clauses

Precommercial Thinning and Pruning. Precommercial thinning involves thinning dense young forest trees by mechanical means, including cutting individual trees or mechanically sawing or chipping rows or groups of trees. Pruning removes the lower limbs of desirable tree species to increase the eventual product value of the pruned trees. Between age 10 and 20, pre-commercial thinning may be prescribed to remedy overstocked conditions in planted stands so that crop trees will achieve optimum diameter growth. Currently, pre-commercial stems are not removed from the site because they are too small to meet current merchantable standards. This operation is performed only once in the life of a stand, and only on those stands with an excess number of trees per acre. Although chainsaws are used to cut the non-crop trees, progress in the development of xxxxxx-bunchers may eventually lead to machines that are capable of carrying out this operation more efficiently and with less risk of injury to workers. Alternatively, improvements in markets for small wood and in the machinery used to harvest small stems may allow economic harvesting of the excess trees, thus converting pre-commercial thinning to commercial thinning, as described below.
