American Forest Management, Inc.’s Post

Even-aged forests focus on growing the same-age trees in a specific location. This allows the trees to display similar characteristics in terms of height and diameter (though this can vary within a group). This method is considered to be the most economically effective option for harvesting, as loggers can predict what the outcomes will be during thinning operations or final harvests. After a final harvest, foresters can replant genetically improved seedlings, which often grow faster and are more resistant to diseases.
