Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TxBeeFarmer" <txbeefarmer@gmail.com>]

A year or two ago I ran across a process of harvesting certain kinds of 
trees for their wood then letting them grow back from the stump and 
harvesting them again some years later.  Evidently, this process continues 
in rotation endlessly and has been practiced for centuries.  I recall 
reading that some of the stumps were many feet in diameter from repeated 
harvesting.  I just can't seem to remember the word for it!

Anyone here know what it's called?

Thanks
