Seed-tree cutting best fits this definition because most trees in this harvest method are cleared, but a few mature trees are left uncut so as to provide seeds for future stands to grow. 

Clear-cutting is when an entire stand is cut for harvest. Single-tree cutting is harvesting select mature trees. Shelterwood cutting is when the forest is "thinned" of more mature trees, and a group-selected cut is when a small patch of trees is selected and cut.

Clear-cutting puts the hardwood ecosystem at risk of soil erosion and depletes the resource, while single-tree cutting would reap little profit and dense stands could limit growth of shade-intolerant saplings. Seed-tree leaves too few slow-growing oaks to disperse seeds and group-selection cutting is not optimal for a tree whose saplings grow right where the acorns drop from the tree. 

Shelterwood cutting thins out the forest, allowing younger, sun-loving trees to grow. This method is often preferred for slow-growing hardwoods and limits soil erosion while maximizing yield.

The main concern with fire supression is the overcrowding of fire-adapted tree stands, which can be problematic for wildlife attempting to forage or migrate. A buildup of high-density wood fuel is also a high risk for a catastropic wildfire and is not befitting of a healthy ecological community. However, overgrowth of stands does not inherently pose a risk for soil erosion, as root systems from dense tree stands will likely hold the soil in place. 

Slash and burn describes the process of clearing forested areas of vegetation and burning to provide cropland or rangeland. Terracing is the process by which a hill is converted into large "steps" of land, which are easier to farm. Intensive agriculture describes the large-scale, systematic production of food for distribution to heavily populated areas. Desertification, as the name suggests, involves land degradation in which an already dry area becomes increasingly dry, usually resulting in a decrease in biodiversity.

The correct response is old growth forest. This refers specifically to a forest that has never been cut, or has been around for over a hundred years. Another term would be Virgin Forest. The term native forest just means that they forest contains natural vegetation to the ecosystem - it doesn't refer to whether the forest has been cut or not. Agroforest is the combination of agriculture and forest lands. Second growth forest is the regrowth of a forest after being cut down.

Strip cutting - a strip is clear cut, leaving a corridor narrow enough to allow regeneration within a shorter period of time.

Shelterwood cutting - removing all mature trees in a few cuttings over a period of ten years.

Selective cutting - removing only mature trees individually or in small groups.

subdividing rangeland and rotating where the herds of cattle graze allows for grasslands to regenerate naturally and prevents excessive disturbance of the soil while also maximizing the number of cattle that can graze in a certain area. 

In regions of the U.S. that have insufficient rainfall for growing crops (Eastern Colorado, West Texas, etc.), the land is often utilized for grazing livestock. Dry grassland ecosystems are best used for grazing because tilling the soil for cultivation creates a heightened risk for wind-carried soil erosion, as was demonstrated by the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

A rangeland is an biome categorized by native, grassy plants on which wild and/or domestic animals feed. It can be a desert shrubland, a tundra, a grassland, or another biome, as long as it is not barren.

Annual grasses with shallow root systems not only provide little structural integrity to the organic and topsoil layers of the soil, but are also very desirable to grazing livestock such as cattle. Cattle generally prefer annual grasses to shrubs and semi-woody bunchgrasses, which—when combined with strong seasonal gusts—can put a rangeland at serious risk of wind erosion and loss of topsoil. Woody shrubs and bunchgrasses typically have deeper or further-extending root systems and provide more structural integrity for the soil, which prevents further erosion.
