Forestry / Wood / Timber / conservation measure
French term or phrase: irrégularisation de certains peuplements
This is a kind of forest conservation practice. My initial attempt is "ensure non-uniformity of forest stands". Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

achieving uneven-aged forest stands
Explanation:
In reference to the discussion and your research :
even-aged stand : peuplement équien
uneven-aged stand : peuplement inéquien

The "irregularity" probably relates to the age of trees, not the "heterogenous" mix of tree species in the stand (which would be "favoriser la plurispécificité de certains peuplements" instead of "irrégularisation")
