Hi

What are the options for tagging forest areas that have been harvested/clear cut?

Searching the wiki I found:

landuse=logging many with logging=clearcutting or logging=selective_cutting or logging:start_date=*
18k uses mostly Eastern Europe  and Russia

man_made=clearcut almost all with natural=scrub
2k uses mostly in Europe


I don't like a new landuse, in my mind the area is still being used for forestry. man_made feels forces and perhaps it is a language/translation thing but I would never use scrub describe the young trees that grows after a clearcut.

I too don't like it. Will they do the same with farmland? Orchards?

I think I'm after landuse=forest with some sub tag describing that the area was harvested and when.

Possible solutions that can be applied to other 'crops'?

harvesting:start_date=* to state when harvesting commenced

harvesting:method=   *
Possible values?
clear_cut (can be applied to many types of crops?)
selective (can be applied to many types of crops ?)

Here I am trying to get away from timber specific terms, to more generic terms.
