Clearcutting – clean felling by complete exploitation and removal of all the trees in one operation ... a harvesting method When buying a lawn trimmer or brush cutter, consider several variables like your budget, yard, and the person using the tool. You could also opt for a product with multiple heads that can do both jobs. Center for Biological Diversity, Tucson, AZ. "Clearcutting and Climate Change." Accessed 2011-10-12. The white-throated sparrow’s soft spritely whistle was more common in New England when Lautzenheiser was a young man growing up in the Boston suburbs, and the birds had more habitat. “I’d prefer not to live in a landscape where the sound of the white-throated sparrow disappears or is so rare that it may as well not occur at all,” he says. “Thoughtful forest management can be part of shepherding this species and others through this challenging time.”

Selection cutting (ecoforestry) – removing selected trees for different purposes (harvesting, ecological, forest health, etc.). Commercial logging usually implies the removal of the most expensive timber. They’re very practical for neatening up areas where the mower can’t reach. Battery-powered strimmers are no hassle to get out of the shed, meaning you won’t be put off using one as often as necessary, and they require no preparation (apart from charging the battery when it runs down). If it’s simply a case of cutting down some areas that the mower can’t go, they could be a good choice. Some of us enjoy a challenge when angling, and some of us prefer the simpler life. Weed in your swim can be a real pain, not only does it make reaching the fish more difficult, but often, if you haven’t been able to manoeuvre your catch successfully, you can end up snagged, losing the fish. Aside from disappointment, nobody likes to think of their catch permanently tethered to some underwater obstacle. Once your brush cutter’s blade has become dull and is no longer cutting efficiently, its time to either replace it or sharpen it. Sharpening blunt cutting heads will be cheaper but does require a few additional tools. Among different methods of forest management for commercial harvesting, clear-cuts can be precisely detected with remote sensing. It enables foresters to monitor clear-cutting areas and compare their planned and actual size after the procedure. EOSDA Forest Monitoring software helps detect illegal logging, fire hazard zones, and the general forest state. In particular, the NDVI index allows understanding how healthy the forest is and how well selected AOIs re-grow after clear-cutting.

To sharpen the cutting blades of your brush cutter, you will need a workbench or table (preferably with a vice), a medium grade whetstone and a fine grade whetstone for the best results.

If you have a persistent problem with invasive tough plants, you may have to resort to using a chemical spray. Products with Triclopyr will be needed such as Vitax SBK brushwood killer. Final Thoughts A comfortable harness can make a difference, but it won’t completely take the weight off a heavy machine. Covington, W. W. (1981). Changes in forest floor organic matter and nutrient content following clear cutting in northern hardwoods. Ecology, 41-48.

As a brief summary – heads with less blades tend to be better at cutting larger stems. A three-blade cutting head is ideal for cutting woody shrubs, brambles and bushes. However, when cutting grass and weeds, the fresh vegetation can wrap around cutting heads that have fewer blades. You won’t be able to get through big patches of brambles. If you’re faced with a large garden-clearing job, you’ll need a more powerful tool than a battery-powered brush cutter.

Porter, for one, is skeptical. Allowing some of the oldest standing trees in New England to be removed amounts to a dereliction of duty on the part of the federal government, he says. If you choose a mains-powered brush cutter, you will have to think about the cable. Whilst you can always use an extension cable, even this can be impractical if the original power cord is very short.

Forest ecologist Bill Keeton, a professor of forest ecology and forestry at the University of Vermont, compared biodiversity and the “ecosystem services”—clean air and water, for example—that young forests and old forests provide in the northeastern U.S. The study he directed, published in 2019 in the journal Global Change Biology, came to the same conclusion as Moomaw: A hands-off forest policy is best.For example, there are some brush cutters which are viewed more as ‘multi-tools’. As well as having different brush cutter heads, they may also include hedge trimming attachments, small chainsaws, and extension poles. These tools can be helpful all-rounders to have in the shed, useful for hedge trimming and pruning as well.
