The last element of silviculture is the  final cut. It is done in order to  ensure forest renewal in a manner compatible with the requirements of the existing tree species.Methods by which the final cut is performed must  guarantee preservation of  forest  biodervisity, its productivity and regeneration capabilities, as well as  continuity and proper ecological functions of trees.
