Paper Summary

The goal of the research was to find ways to harvest trees in a sustainable manner to help forests grow back and minimize damage. The researchers used a method called the waterfall model to come up with four ways to choose which trees to cut down. The results showed that these methods can help forests grow back better and reduce harm to the remaining trees.
