English term or phrase: clearcut harvest
Definition from New Mexico State University:
A harvest and regeneration technique removing all the trees (regardless of size) on an area. Clearcutting is commonly used with shade-intolerant species such as Douglas fir or lodgepole pine, which require full sunlight to reproduce and grow well. Clearcutting produces an even-aged stand of trees.

Example sentence(s):
  • Markovitz lives in Calm Harbour on the Eastern Shore where Northern Pulp Ltd. is whole-tree clear-cut harvesting for biomass energy. The Dominion Paper
  • The shelterwood harvest combines many of the assets of the single tree selection, group selection and clear-cut harvest. Frank Miller Lumber Company
  • Clear-cut harvest and site preparation, including crushing the residual vegetation, burning, and contour ripping, were applied to three small watersheds in Oklahoma Water Resources Research

Example sentence(s):
  • Nicht zuletzt wegen dieser Besonderheiten regte sich öffentlicher Widerspruch, nicht nur von Umweltgruppen, gegen die Kahlschlagwirtschaft der kanadischen Holzkonzerne. - Umwelthaus Nachrichten  
  • Kahlschlagwirtschaft mit Kahlschlag, Pflanzung, Durchforstung und erneutem Kahlschlag wurde in den Staatswäldern 1950 angeordnet. Die Methode hat sich als gut funktionierend erwiesen, besonders in Nordschweden. - Aus SkogsEko Nr.1 April 2002  

Explanation:
Clear-cut system:
The clear-cut harvest is sometimes used in the central hardwood region woodlands. In this type of harvest all the trees in a stand are removed. The clear-cut harvest is usually prescribed only when species type conversions are desired. Compared to selection harvest, clear-cut harvests frequently result in more satisfactory regeneration of desirable shade-intolerant tree species, but this asset is often overshadowed by the much greater length of time that the tracts will benefit larger forestland owners.
