High Forest means

  • A.Forest at higher elevation
  • B.Climax forest
  • C.Forest with tall trees
  • D.Forest of seed origin

Answer: D

A high forest is a forest of seed origin.

In silviculture, a high forest is one raised from seed, either naturally or by planting, as opposed to a coppice forest, which regenerates from shoots of cut stumps. Trees of seed origin generally grow taller and live longer, which is where the name comes from.

The term does not refer to altitude, to the climax stage of succession, or simply to tall trees; it is defined by the mode of regeneration.
