| Forestry | 1: Of a forest, stand, or forest type in which relatively small age differences exist between individual trees (Source: The Canadian Forest Inventory Committee, its Subcommittees and delegates.). The differences in age permitted are usually 10 to 20 years; if the stand will not be harvested until it is 100 to 200 years old, larger differences up to 25% of the rotation age may be allowed. cf. uneven-aged. (references) | 2: A forest stand or forest type in which relatively small (10-20 year) age differences exist between individual trees. Even-aged stands are often the result of fire, or a harvesting method such as clearcutting or the shelterwood method. (references) | |

| Expressions | Domain | Definition | |
| Even-aged management | Environment | A silvicultural system which creates forest stands that are primarily of a single age or limited range of ages. (references) | |
| Even-aged Management Silvicultural System | Forestry | The trees in the stand are approximately the same age (usually within 20 years of age). The system is designed to manage stands of mostly the same age to a desired age or size, followed by harvest some or all of the trees and regeneration with tree seedlings. (references) | |
| Even-aged silvicultural system | Forestry | A silvicultural system that is designed to regenerate and maintain an even-aged stand. Clearcutting, seed tree, and shelterwood are even-aged systems. (references) | |
| Even-aged stand | Forestry | A stand of trees consisting of one or two age classes. Even-aged stands are often the result of fire, or a harvesting method such as clearcutting or shelterwood. (references) | |
