Regeneration - SS2 Agriculture Lesson Note
Regeneration in forest management is like nature's way of hitting the "reset" button. It involves allowing a forest to naturally regrow after some trees have been harvested. Here are key aspects:
Natural Growth: Instead of planting new trees, the forest is left to heal on its own. Young trees sprout from seeds and roots of the remaining trees.
Protecting Young Trees: Efforts are made to protect these new trees from animals and disturbances so that they can grow into a healthy forest.
Sustainability: Regeneration ensures that the forest remains intact and continues to provide resources over the long term.
