Successive re-cutting of trees is not sustainable because you totally ignore the vast amount of the ecosystem's mineral content tied up in every "crop" of trees. A cut forest is no longer a forest. A tree-plantation cannot ever be a forest. Clear-cutting is the most PROFITABLE way to harvest wood - the most effective way to PRODUCE wood is KEEP OUT of the forests! "Forestry," like fishing is Theft disguised as employment. You CANNOT FIX a broken ecosystem. If it ain't broke, don't break it! Duh.
