A silvicultural system based on the principle of maintaining continuous forest cover by promoting natural regeneration, mixed species composition, and uneven-aged structure. Harvesting, regeneration, and growth occur simultaneously within the same stand, avoiding clear-cutting and ensuring the long-term stability, productivity, and ecological integrity of the forest.
