Spanish term or phrase: clareos, claras y cortas de policía
El artículo se trata del inventario de recursos para el aprovechamiento energético de la biomasa. Este es el párrafo entero: "Las actividades que generan mayor cantidad de residuos son los trabajos selvícolas y los aprovechamientos madereros. Los primeros, son aquellos trabajos encaminados a mejorar la calidad, crecimiento y aspecto de las masas y son fundamentalmente los desbroces, clareos, claras, podas y cortas de policía. Los aprovechamientos madereros tienen por objeto la obtención de madera para la industria.

Explanation:
Los clareos y claras consisten en cortas de carácter intermedio que se realizan antes de la edad del turno y que bajan la densidad de arbolado existente. La primera intervención de reducción de la densidad se considerará clareo o clara, dependiendo de si se generan productos vendibles (claras) o no vendible (clareo).

The process of thinning could produce both marketable and non-marketable products, but the purpose is to improve growing conditions for the trees that are left.

Selective cutting seems to be directed more towards extraction of marketable wood than towards forest maintenance per se.
