French term
futaie régulière claire
I need to work out what this means in the context of forestry. Futaie is plantation of trees, and I think régulière means mixed-age(?) What does claire mean here?
Thank you in advance.

Open-forest is a vegetation type with moderately tall trees and a reasonably open canopy that lets in some light.
La futaie régulière, qu'est-ce que c'est ? Cette méthode consiste à conserver des arbres d’âges sensiblement identiques, dans une parcelle déterminée. Dans ces futaies, des coupes "d’amélioration" sont réalisées tous les 6 à 12 ans. L'objec
In the treatment of a regular high forest, the trees are educated in a stand of the same age and of similar dimensions.

| Thank you, Andrzej. I agree that this has to do with the age (even, as opposed to uneven) of the forest and the fact that it is clear. |
Reference comments
see
FUTAIE REGULIERE :
Even-Age Management
This type of forest management produces a stand of trees with relatively
little difference in age and size. The goal is to produce tall, straight trees
to be used for cooperage and other industries requiring very straight wood.
• Same age
• Same dimensions
FUTAIE IRREGULIERE or JARDINEE :
Uneven-Age Management
Uneven-age management results in a variety of tree species and ages
within the same forest stand. Harvesting methods include individual tree
and group selection.
• Different ages
• Different species
• Different sizes
