Relay cropping is a method of multiple cropping where [a second] crop is seeded into [a] standing crop well before harvesting of [the standing] crop. Relay cropping may solve a number of conflicts such as inefficient use of available resources, controversies in sowing time, fertilizer application, and soil degradation. 2, record 1, English, - relay%20intercropping

This is now the most widely used harvesting method. After bogs are flooded to a depth of about 1 to 2 feet, machines resembling lawn tractors carrying large horizontal reels are passed through the bogs. These reels, about 1 to 2 feet in diameter, churn up the water and vibrate the cranberries loose from the vine. After the berries float to the surface, they are corralled to one end using large floating wooden booms. Berries are then conveyed off the water to waiting trucks for transportation to processing plants. 1, record 7, English, - wet%20harvesting

The advantage of the selection method is that it is often considered to be less visually offensive than clear-cuts. Therefore, selective harvesting is frequently favored in areas where recreation or scenic values are important. Selective cuts may also be used to harvest timber from sensitive areas such as steep slopes or buffer strips where it is desirable to maintain permanent tree cover. 4, record 8, English, - selective%20harvesting

Il est de plus en plus question maintenant d'utiliser aussi la souche de l'arbre. C'est ce qu'on appelle en anglais le total tree logging et qui pourrait être rendu en français par exploitation intégrale. Il existe alors deux possibilités : ou bien l'arbre est coupé normalement et les souches sont extraites par la suite par une machine autre que l'abatteuse, ou bien l'abatteuse arrache l'arbre au complet puis sectionne la souche et la laisse sur le parterre de coupe où elle sera reprise plus tard. L'arbre étant toutefois transporté indépendamment de sa souche, il s'agit encore d'un des modes d'exploitation traditionnels, mais avec récupération de souches. 3, record 14, French, - exploitation%20int%C3%A9grale
