Coppice restoration and conservation: a European perspective
TL;DR: Coppice management has a long and ancient tradition in Europe, but still comprises over 14% of the forest area despite showing catastrophic declines in the past century as discussed by the authors, and contemporary trends in fore...

Christian Scheidl,Micha Heiser,Sonja Vospernik,Elisabeth Lauss,Frank Perzl,Andreas Kofler,Karl Kleemayr,Francesco Bettella,Emanuele Lingua,Matteo Garbarino,Mitja Skudnik,Daniel Trappmann,Frédéric Berger +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the effect of forests against rockfall in alpine transregional scale by estimating the runout length of 700 individual rockfall trajectories from 39 release areas from Austria, Germany, Italy and Slovenia.

Forest operations in coppice: Environmental assessment of two different logging methods.
TL;DR: Compared the main common systems for firewood production in two different terrain conditions, in a representative environment for Mediterranean area, located in central Italy, by means of LCA, results showed a sensible difference between disturbed and undisturbed soil.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of forest management on animal and plant biodiversity by comparing protected areas with intensively and extensively managed forests in Germany and in Romania and identified a "cut and leave" type of management in Romania, in which clear-felling of forest are followed by long periods of no human intervention.
Restoration of selective beech coppices: A case study in the Apennines (Italy)
Matteo Coppini,Luigi Hermanin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the possibility of restoring the coppice selection system on selective beech coppices that are in a state of prolonged silvicultural abandonment.
Habitat requirements of endangered species in a former coppice of high conservation value
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sites with endangered species have a highly uneven distribution in ecological space and that their species composition is often similar to open-canopy oak forests, while broadly distributed shade-tolerant and nutrient-demanding species avoid them.
Biomass production from traditional coppice management in northern Italy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 10 commercial coppice harvesting operations in northwestern Italy, where modern machines were deployed, and determined the removal, prices, work, revenues and costs.
