English term or phrase: clearcut harvest
Definition from New Mexico State University:
A harvest and regeneration technique removing all the trees (regardless of size) on an area. Clearcutting is commonly used with shade-intolerant species such as Douglas fir or lodgepole pine, which require full sunlight to reproduce and grow well. Clearcutting produces an even-aged stand of trees.

Example sentence(s):
  • Markovitz lives in Calm Harbour on the Eastern Shore where Northern Pulp Ltd. is whole-tree clear-cut harvesting for biomass energy. The Dominion Paper
  • The shelterwood harvest combines many of the assets of the single tree selection, group selection and clear-cut harvest. Frank Miller Lumber Company
  • Clear-cut harvest and site preparation, including crushing the residual vegetation, burning, and contour ripping, were applied to three small watersheds in Oklahoma Water Resources Research

kaalkap
Definition:
Eenvoudigste kapwijze om opgaand bos in een volgende generatie bos over te laten gaan.
Na bereiken van de beoogde omvang worden de bomen voor de voet geveld; de stammen worden afgevoerd, de takken verhakseld of op rillen geschoven. Op de ontstane kapvlakte (1 à 1,5 ha) werden de jonge boompjes voor het nieuwe bos aangeplant. Men spreekt dan van kunstmatige bosverjonging.

  • Dat de bedrijven bovendien kaalslag toepassen - waarbij een stuk bos volledig wordt gekapt - is voor Greenpeace helemaal onverteerbaar. - Trouw
