Question

Reforestation projects would be more beneficial to forests that had undergone selective cutting rather than clear-cutting.


Please select the best answer from the choices provided

True
False

Answer 1

False.

Reforestation is generally more needed and effective after clear-cutting, which removes most or all trees, seed sources, and canopy cover and often causes erosion. Selective cutting leaves many trees and seed sources intact, so natural regeneration and less intensive restoration are usually sufficient.
