Important management effects in urban coppice forests
Original language description
Coppice was very common type of the management in the landscape in the past centuries. In these coppice forests were done only clear cuts in the end of the rotation periods. But during last twenty years renew interest in coppice forests has developed and a new trend was created, to do thinning in the coppice, due to higher resistance to climate change. It is known that coppice can be a suitable forest management how to mitigate drought issues in the forestry -and in the landscape. Furthermore, thinning is a good silvicultural treatment how to influence available water for trees in the landscape. Thinned coppice and low tree height can be attractive in urban settings, moreover visitors do not like unmanaged stands. Thinned coppice create different landscape structure. The effect of thinning in young oak-hornbeam coppice on diameter increment and soil water content was monitored in the Moravian part of the Czech Republic. It can be concluded that the diameter increment and soil moisture was significantly higher in thinned plots. Diameter increment of sessile oak was 59 % higher in thinned plots, for European hornbeam 61 %. Volumetric soil moisture content was 43 % higher in thinned plots. We can notice several advantages for visitors and forest owners.
