An additional woodland (or second-growth forest) is a woodland or forest area which has re-grown after a wood harvest, until an enough time duration has actually passed so that the results of the disruption are no much longer noticeable. It is distinguished from an old-growth woodland (primary or prehistoric woodland), which has not lately gone through such disruption, and also complex early seral forest, along with third-growth woodlands that result from harvest in 2nd growth forests. Additional woodland regrowing after timber harvest varies from forest regrowing after natural disruptions such as fire, insect infestation, or windthrow because the dead trees remain to provide nutrients, framework, as well as water retention after natural disturbances. Nevertheless, often after all-natural disruption the lumber is collected and also eliminated from the system, in which case the system much more carefully looks like second forest instead than complex very early seral woodland.
