"A carpenter will simply cut off the rotten joist end and treat the end of the joist that is staying in your floor to prevent it from rotting again. They may then add joist repair plates or bolt on a new part of a joist to match the original joist."

"Severely damaged floorboards can either be completely replaced or you can simply cut out the damaged section and replace only that part. If you are cutting a floorboard, make sure that the cut is over a joist so that the end can be firmly fixed (as well as the end of the new section when it is slotted in)."
