cutover
Trees all felled
Cutover is the moment of switching from one system to another—typically in computing or telecommunications, when an old system goes offline and a new one takes over: The cutover to the new database is scheduled for midnight.
The transition is usually abrupt rather than gradual.
In forestry, cutover describes land where all merchantable timber has been harvested: cutover land, a cutover hillside.
