Thinning undertaking/ process

Explanation:

What is Thinning?
Thinning is the cutting down and removal of a proportion of trees in a forest crop. It is carried out primarily to provide more growing space for the remaining trees, which leads to an increase in volume of individual trees. Thinning also provides the farmer with an intermediate source of timber revenue before the final crop is cut down at the end of the rotation.

Thinning of conifers aims to maximise total production per hectare, in broadleaves the main purpose of thinning is to produce well balanced, even crowns on the final crop trees. Conifer thinning is carried out on a 5 year cycle normally, starting when the trees are near 20 years of age. These thinning operations are carried out until the crop is completely cut down.

Objects of Thinning
The idea behind thinning is to concentrate the volume increase in a smaller number of trees, resulting in wider individual trees and a greater proportion of sawlog, the most valuable timber size class. An important concept in thinning is the yield class (YC) of the tree. The yield class is a measure of the growth of the tree crop on an annual basis. A tree crop of yield class 20 will put on 20m3 per hectare per year over the lifetime of the crop. This volume increase holds true whether there are 2,500 trees per hectare or 460 trees per hectare.
