The amount of renewable resources that can be produced continuously at a given intensity of management.
The yield a forest can produce in perpetuity at a given intensity of management without impairment of the land's productivity, with the intent that there will be balance between timber growth and harvesting on a sustainable basis.
In forestry, the annual volume of wood products that a forest can produce continuously under a given system.
Management of renewable resources conducted in such a way as to allow a constant rate of harvest indefinitely.
the rate of production of a renewable resource that can be maintained on a piece of property at a specific level of maintenance or management.
The harvest of forest products in such a manner that the product removed is approximately equal to the amount of new growth the forest produces.
the rate at which a resource may be used without reducing its long-term availability or limiting its ability to renew itself.
historically, a timber management concept in which the volume of wood removed is equal to growth within the total forest. The concept is applicable to nontimber forest values as well.
Harvest practices which, over time, ensure that the rate of timber harvest does not exceed the rate of timber growth.
Utilization of a renewable resource at a rate that does not impair or damage its ability to be fully renewed on a long-term basis.
a method of forest management that calls for an approximate balance between net growth and amount harvested.
Management of forest land for continuous production with the aim of achieving, at the earliest practicable time, a balance between net growth and harvest.
Ideally, a situation where the amount of wood cut in a forest area over a year would be equaled by the new growth of the remaining trees.
The concept of cutting logs in such quantity as to allow the forest to continue to grow naturally or be replanted, pending a similar cut in the future.
Harvest practices which, over time, ensure the rate of forest harvest does not exceed the rate of forest growth.
The periodic yield of timber that a given forest area can produce indefinitely at a given intensity of management.
perpetual achievement and maintenance of a high level of annual (or regular periodic) output of the various renewable resources of the public lands. Sustained yield is a concept consistent with “Mulitple Use” (Mojave-Southern Standards & Guidelines, BLM).
an ideal forest management objective in which the volume of wood removed equals growth within the total forest.
Management of forestland to produce a relatively constant amount of wood products, revenue or wildlife over a long period of time.
Management of forest land to produce a relatively constant amount of wood products, revenue, or wildlife. The yield of wood, revenue or wildlife that a forest can produce continuously at a given level of management.
The production rate of renewable resources an area of land or water can maintain at a given intensity of management.
