Authored by 115 experts, researchers and practitioners from 35 countries across Europe and beyond, this volume primarily focusses on traditional coppice types, but also addresses more recent forms such as short rotation coppice. Besides extensive coverage of the themes silviculture, utilisation, conservation and governance, the volume provides information on each of the 35 countries and discusses management and policy options for the different situations in which coppice is currently found.The publication is the last of a variety of activities carried out by COST Action FP1301 EuroCoppice (2013 - 2017), from awareness raising for coppice issues, to supporting the careers of young researchers - see fields on the left for details.
