Catalan term or phrase: masses derivades
3. Formes culturals de la massa: cada una de les resultants d’un tractament silvícola.

- ***Masses derivades***: masses l’estructura de les quals no correspon amb exactitud a les formes principals, i en què aquestes variacions tenen un objectiu econòmic. En la silvicultura mediterrània correspon a masses amb densitat normal incompleta, com deveses, suredes, forests productores de fruit, etc.

I have three different kinds of 'formes culturals de la masa'. I'll ask about the other two in separate questions. I cannot find an English equivalent for this kind of stand.

Any ideas?

BTW, I don't think that the term 'derived stands' exists in English.



Many thanks in advance!

derived mass


Explanation:
I prefer the term 'mass' to indicate a section of forest. "Forestry mass", meaning an undefined quantity of forest space.
