  2. Liberation cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_cutting

    Liberation cutting may be superficially similar to an overstory removal cutting. The major difference between these is that in the overstory removal, regeneration was deliberate and the best trees were saved for the final harvest. In the liberation cutting, the worst trees remain and regeneration was likely an afterthought to a logging operation.

  3. Tree shaping methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping_methods

    Tree shapers when looking for a new tree species to try generally look for trees that grow well in the area, are less prone to insect damage, and are less susceptible to disease. [5] Given grafting and the trees ability of inosculation form a fundamental technique, trees that graft well are preferred in construction style projects. The region ...

  4. Decision tree pruning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_tree_pruning

    Pre-pruning procedures prevent a complete induction of the training set by replacing a stop criterion in the induction algorithm (e.g. max. Tree depth or information gain (Attr)> minGain). Pre-pruning methods are considered to be more efficient because they do not induce an entire set, but rather trees remain small from the start.

  5. Slash-and-burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash-and-burn

    Slash-and-burn agriculture is a farming method that involves the cutting and burning of plants in a forest or woodland to create a field called a swidden. The method begins by cutting down the trees and woody plants in an area. The downed vegetation, or "slash", is then left to dry, usually right before the rainiest part of the year.

  6. Genetically modified crops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_crops

    Some trees have been genetically modified to either have less lignin, or to express lignin with chemically labile bonds. Lignin is the critical limiting factor when using wood to make bio-ethanol because lignin limits the accessibility of cellulose microfibrils to depolymerization by enzymes . [ 177 ]

  7. Fast-and-frugal trees - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-and-frugal_trees

    A fast-and-frugal tree is a classification or a decision tree that has m+1 exits, with one exit for each of the first m −1 cues and two exits for the last cue. Mathematically, fast-and-frugal trees can be viewed as lexicographic heuristics or as linear classification models with non-compensatory weights and a threshold.

  9. Tree sitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_sitting

    Tree sitting is a strategy that provides a high level of public attention since it is considered to be very dangerous and requires highly skilled police officers to evict the sitters. Tree sitting is often used as a stalling tactic, to prevent the cutting of trees while lawyers fight in the courts to secure the long-term victories. [citation ...
