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.

🌾🔬 Rice and Gene Editing: Defending Against Rice Blast Disease 🍚 Rice is a staple food eaten by more than 3.5 billion people every day around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America and parts of Africa. Its consumption is forecasted to increase by 100 million tons or more by 2050. Rice grows in warm wet climates but its production is threatened by disease such as rice blast, which, without a way to control, could threaten the food security of billions of people in rural areas. Scientists believe CRISPR/Cas9 and other gene editing techniques can help save the world’s rice fields.
