Clearcutting or clearfelling is a logging operation in which (nearly) all trees in a selected area are harvested. There is no agreed upon minimum area that constitutes a clear cut, but typically, areas smaller than 5 acres would be considered "patch cuts". The reasons for clearcutting can range from optimizing the regeneration of a forest (explained below) to to clearing land for other uses to taking every tree worth any money. Reasons for clearcutting rather than selection cut include:

regeneration
Some tree species do not grow well in the shade of larger trees.

logging costs
it is easier to move logs and logging equipment in an open clearcut than among standing trees.
