An area protected by legislation, regulation or land-use policy to control the level of human occupancy or activities. Wood chips that have been ground mechanically into fibres and are used for the production of inexpensive paper, such as newsprint, or that have been chemically treated to remove the lignin and are used to manufacture higher quality papers.

Natural regeneration occurs gradually with seeds from adjacent stands or with seeds brought in by wind, birds or animals.
Artificial regeneration involves direct seeding or planting.
Round sections of tree stems with or without bark, such as logs and bolts. A method of regenerating a forest stand that involves removing all of the trees from an area in a single cut, except for a small number of seed-bearing trees. The objective is to create an even-aged stand. The objective is to recover the yield and maintain an uneven-aged stand structure, while creating the conditions necessary for tree growth and seedling establishment. The theory and practice of controlling the establishment, composition, growth and quality of forest stands.
