What type of forest consists of trees that are all of a similar age?

An even-aged forest is characterized by trees that are all of a similar age, which typically results from a single regeneration event, such as the clearing of an area followed by the planting or natural seeding of trees at the same time. This uniformity in age can lead to a more consistent structure and growth pattern, impacting forest management practices and ecological dynamics.

In contrast, uneven-aged forests contain trees of multiple ages, which can lead to a more complex structure and higher biodiversity. Mixed forests are composed of different species rather than being focused on age, and primary forests refer to ecosystems that are largely untouched by human activities, which can have a wide variety of ages and species present.
