Selective harvesting, shelter-wood and gap felling processes yield less profits on the on set, however the necessary silvicuture costs associated with clear-cutting: seed collection, seedling development, block site prep, tree planting , etc are significant. The discussed alternate harvest processes rely primarily on natural regeneration, and these process would save considerably for sustainability of the stands. Like your TH-cam channel; I can only understand the episodes containing English caption's, unfortunately :)
Not to forget the price difference between timber and pulpwood. Usually the selective cutting kind of methods are producing bigger % of timber than pulpwood the rotation time of a clear cut area. Väldigt bra video!
The other consideration to consider is that under a clear cut system, all the profit comes at once, while under CCF the individual payments are less but profits are regularly spread over a longer time frame.
Too much emphasis on the economics of selective cutting forests, not enough emphasis on the ecological aspects. I was concerned to see tree harvesters utilized in selective cutting forests; no word being said on their impact on forest soil.
This is a great video!

Yeah I'd love to see the ecological impact comparison instead of monetary points
