thread_title:  deleting merge tags? 

message: Would it be impertinent to suggest that this material would be better suited to an article of it's own, to be linked from here. I may of course be wrong. Still keen on a merge to forestry.The Boy that time forgot 22:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I may be missing someing but I not sure if we all mean the same thing by "maintain" My  understanding (may be local terminology) is that if you start with an even-aged stand and select cut it you are "thinning'. At some point it will either be a stand with mature trees all the same age or regeneration is going to slowly change the stand to an uneven-aged stand. If you clearcut a  stand (even or uneven) you will end up with an even-aged stand. If you select cut a stand (uneven or even) it will stay uneven or you will eventually end up with an uneven  aged stand.  KAM 13:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: With a second look I see it does not say maintain. I think it is ok but could be more clear perhaps. KAM 22:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Should there be mention of using some form of independant certification to legislate against the practice of high grading. I'm not aware of the current situation in North America regarding certification however in northern Europe (FSC, PEFC) actively prohibits this type of activity.The Boy that time forgot 21:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The redirect from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Selective_logging&redirect=no leads to a fairly confusing experience.  "Selective logging" is often used in contexts where is is assumed to be a poor practice.  It seems like there are 3 ways in which logging can be done in a picky way:
1) cutting only the valuable species (ick)
2) cutting only the valuable sizes (ick)
3) cutting to preserve a distribution of species and sizes consistent with long-term management goals(yum)
If there is a consistent terminology that is easily used to refer to those 3 methods, it isn't clear from the existing articles.  I would love it if someone who knew what they were talking about could create an article that explained it and fixed up the links, so that they all made immediate sense.--Wcoole (talk) 00:50, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Selection vs. Selective 

message: The is an element not very clearly explained in this section: "a curve representing the state of the residual stand is computed" seems to imply that "residual" means "desired", so I can see how you'd compare the existing to desired distributions, but it isn't at all clear how one comes to choose appropriate values for B, D, and q.  In any case, I'd like to see a more detailed explanation for how the financial considerations (or other goals of the owner) interact with the known properties of the biological systems and the existing inventory.--Wcoole (talk) 01:03, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
