Continuous cover forestryContinuous cover forestry (CCF) is a broad term encompassing a wide variety of forest management practices. One key feature of is that biomass removal is based either on small clearcuts or selective harvesting. Smaller clearcuts may create less hydrological disturbance but some of the filtration benefits associated with forest soils may be lost as a result of the greater driving and road maintenance needed for continuous harvesting. - Based on Stella definitions, adapted by NWRM project experts and validated by the European Commissionhttps://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/freshwater/admin/resources/glossary/continuous-cover-forestryhttps://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/freshwater/admin/++resource++plone-logo.svg
