English term

shelterwood

GBK English to Russian Science Forestry / Wood / Timber
Definition from Temperate Forest Foundation:
The silvicultural method that gradually removes the trees from a given stand by a series of partial cuttings over a relatively short period of time. Eventually all overstory trees are removed, resulting in an even-aged stand.
Example sentences:
The shelterwood system involves several steps: control of competing understory vegetation, the shelterwood selection and final harvest cut. (Warnell School of Forest Resources)
The increased interest in shelterwoods for regeneration of spruce has led to an interest in how harvester productivity in shelterwood cuttings compares to productivity in clear felling. (Journal of Forest Engineering)
Forests can be regenerated by removing all but the best 40 to 60 trees and cutting the smaller, more poorly formed trees in what is called a shelterwood cut. When scattered large trees are left in a shelterwood cut, some tree species which are intermediate shade-tolerant trees such as northern red oak are favored. (Virginia Department of Forestry)

равномерные постепенные рубки леса

Равномерно-постепенные рубки (или – постепенные рубки в узком смысле этого термина). Обеспечивают относительное постоянство лесной среды, но ведут к некоторому упрощению пространственной структуры древостоя (так же, как и равномерно-выборочные рубки) за счёт выборки только единичных деревьев, а также к упрощению возрастной структуры древостоя (так же, как и котловинные рубки, по той же самой причине).
Example sentences:
Равномерно-постепенные рубки также осуществляются в высоко- и среднеполнотных древостоях с угнетенным жизнеспособным подростом или вторым ярусом, в смешанных древостоях, образованных древесными породами, имеющими разный возраст спелости (хвойно-лиственных, осиново-березовых и т.п.).
