Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sustained yield techniques involve harvesting a certain amount of trees while leaving enough remaining to continue growing for future harvests. This ensures the forest remains a renewable resource for future generations. Selective cutting can also be sustainable if only certain trees are harvested and others are left to grow. Clear cutting and multiple use techniques are not as sustainable as they can be damaging to the ecosystem and not guarantee future growth.
