This document defines and classifies different silvicultural systems. It describes silvicultural systems as methods for tending, harvesting, and regenerating forest crops according to silvicultural principles. The document then classifies systems into two main categories: high forest systems and coppice systems. High forest systems focus on natural regeneration and maintaining an uneven-aged structure, while coppice systems regenerate forests through resprouting of cut stumps, maintaining an even-aged structure. A number of specific systems are described within each category.
