Extended Rotation Age/Cutting Cycle (ERA)
Definition:
Extended Rotation Age/Cutting Cycle (ERA) is an improved forest management methodology category. This category includes practices that reduce net GHG emissions of evenly aged managed forests by extending the rotation age or cutting cycle and increasing carbon stocks. Because trees are typically harvested at an economically optimal rotation age before they are fully mature, extending the age at which the trees are cut increases the average carbon stock on the land. Extended rotation age activities may also include extending the cutting cycle or harvest schedule in uneven-aged forest management that may have similar effects as extending rotation age in even-aged forest management.
