German translation:second growth means...
Explanation:
I do not know the exact translation for second growth log, however, a second growth forest is the "Nachwuchs" within an old growth forest which has been logged previously. Second growth trees are usually around 100 years or younger, while old growth trees are up to 2000 years old. In the U.S. and Canada logs marketed as "second growth' are significant since most people do not want to buy wood from old growth trees.

But, these rare forests are vanishing at an alarming rate. Many of them are currently clearcut-logged or scheduled to be cut in the near future. Replacing this beautiful ecosytem by second growth forests is not a solution. Timber plantations would only serve to bring many species closer to extinction.
Aber diese Wälder verschwinden mit alarmierender Geschwindigkeit. Viele von ihnen werden jetzt durch Kahlschläge vernichtet oder sind in nächster Zeit zum Einschlag vorgesehen. Das Ersetzen der Urwälder durch Sekundärwälder ist keine Lösung. Angepflanzte Holzplantagen bringen viele Arten an den Rand des Aussterbens.

Diskussion über Kanadische Wälder
Aber ich warne davor, unsere deutschen Maßstäbe eines kleinräumigen, jahrhundertelang gepflegten Privatwaldes auf dieses riesige Land zu übertragen. Dort entsteht jetzt sogenannter Second-Growth-Wald, wie wir ihn in Europa seit vielen Jahrhunderten forstwirtschaftlich nutzen.
