Tips

"Coppice, forestry mode of operation in which after a short rotation period (5-30 years; rotation) the trees and shrubs are felled close to the ground and processed, for example, into firewood, vine sticks, coal for charcoal production, fascines or oak bark. Coppice rejuvenates ( Rejuvenation) through stick eruption and root sprouting Only deciduous tree species (hardwoods) that tolerate "putting on the stick" survive, e.g. willow, hazel, lime, poplar, birch, alder, also oak and hornbeam, little the beech , no conifers. The coppice is a very old type of operation, which was already practiced by the Romans and was widespread in the Middle Ages. Today it has almost no meaning in Germany; only about 1% of the forest area is managed as coppice ( especially as alder coppice).Due to the short turnover and the almost complete removal of the above-ground biomass, the soil is extremely stressed.Coppice forests that have become unprofitable are left to dry grows or converts the stocks into productive high forest stands through replanting and intensive "cultivation cleaning".
