ps 14-15
match the types of selective cutting to their description.
shelterwood cutting
group tree selection
seed tree cutting
single tree selection
only harvesting single and widely spaced apart trees
harvesting small groups of trees here and there
leaving a few trees to reseed future growth
leaving enough trees to provide shade to young trees

Explanation:

• Shelterwood cutting involves retaining enough trees to shelter young seedlings, so it matches "leaving enough trees to provide shade to young trees".
• Group tree selection means harvesting trees in small groups rather than individually, so it matches "harvesting small groups of trees here and there".
• Seed tree cutting leaves a few trees to produce seeds for future forest growth, so it matches "leaving a few trees to reseed future growth".
• Single tree selection is the practice of harvesting individual, widely spaced trees, so it matches "only harvesting single and widely spaced apart trees".

Answer:

• shelterwood cutting: leaving enough trees to provide shade to young trees
• group tree selection: harvesting small groups of trees here and there
• seed tree cutting: leaving a few trees to reseed future growth
• single tree selection: only harvesting single and widely spaced apart trees
