Felling:
Severing the tree from the stump is referred to as felling.
Historically this was carried out with an axe or bow-saw.
The development of the chainsaw increased the efficiency
for a person to fell a tree (also called motor-manual felling),
and this method still dominant felling method in steeper
terrain. On rolling or flat terrain a feller-buncher or
a machine with a harvesting head is the most cost-effective
method of putting trees on the ground (called mechanized
felling).
