CONT

Succession cutting is practised in stands dominated by mature shade-intolerantspecies (large-toothed aspen, trembling aspen, white birch) that are accompanied in the understorey by species that are tolerant and semi-tolerant to shade (sugar maple, yellow birch). This type of cutting method consists in removing stems of shade-intolerant species, while retaining the developing stems of shade tolerantspecies in the understorey.
