You may notice on yours hike in the woods, trees with a section of the bark removed around the girth of the trunk. This is called "girdling." You'll notice the practice in managed forests and woods. Girdling is done to kill the tree by interrupting the flow of nutrients to the roots from the rest of the tree. Why use girdling to kill a tree? One reason is to create a natural death whereby the tree becomes habitat for a myriad of forest life: insects, fungus, birds, for example. The decay also adds organic matter to the forest soil.
In certain tree species, the practice of girdling also prevents regrowth from the stump which aides in forest management goals. In many designated natural areas and parks, forests are being restored to a more original condition; girdling removes undesirable trees gradually from the environment while producing positive effects for the forest.
