A consideration on the choice of reserving trees and cutting trees for amenity in the forest

Abstract

The object of this consideration is to establish the method of thinning for forest amenity. The choice of reserving trees and cutting trees, considering the contnual succession of the forest, was done in three plantation by the authours, a specialist for forest treatment and students. The trees chosen by these groups are different from each others. Examining these differences, it became clear how to improve the plantation as a forest for amenity and how to change it for its continuous succession. The thinning for forest amenity is to accelerate the regenaration in the order of ecological sequence. This thought has a likeness to Moller's thought about the continuous forest.
