Clearcutting

Clearcutting is a forestry practice that involves the complete removal of all trees in a designated area. This method is often used to harvest timber efficiently and can help promote new growth by allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor. However, clearcutting can lead to environmental concerns, such as soil erosion, loss of wildlife habitat, and reduction of biodiversity. While it can be economically beneficial in the short term, the long-term impacts on ecosystems and landscapes need to be carefully managed to balance the benefits of logging with environmental preservation.
