The best example of selective cutting is;

Loggers cut all of the trees in an area, resulting in a loss of nutrients in the soil and sediment gathering in the stream downslope.

Loggers cut a thin strip of trees along a hillside, the forests naturally regenerates, and loggers then cut a thin strip of trees next to the regenerated area.

In a managed area forest containing one or two species of trees, loggers clear cut one section, then clear-cut it again when the trees have reached a certain size.
