Even-aged timber management is a group of forest management practices employed to achieve a nearly coeval cohort group of forest trees.[1] The practice of even-aged management is often pursued to minimize costs to loggers. In some cases, the practices of even aged timber management are frequently implicated in biodiversity loss and other ecological damage.[2] Even-aged timber management can also be beneficial to restoring natural native species succession.[3]
