Clearfelling or clearcutting is the process where every tree is taken in a logging operation. The effect on the environment is massive especially in erosion-prone country. Production forests practising monoculture often use this method of harvesting the timber. Experience world-wide has shown the need to preserve riparian strips on watercourses. Devoid of trees, many areas denuded in this fashion quickly deteriorate.
