Silvicultural Guidelines for European Coppice Forests

All European coppice forests consist of broadleaved tree species. Willows, poplars and black loctus are treated as short-rotation coppice (SRC), wich is usually regarded as part of agricultural-production systems. There are different forms of coppice forests: simple coppice, coppice with standards, coppice selection, pollarding and short rotation coppice.
