Ancient coppice woodlands in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Coppicing and pollarding were the most widespread historical silvicultural systems in broadleaved forests of the European part of the deciduous temperate forest zone from the Neolithic times until the early 20th century. In most Central and North-Western European countries, coppice woodlands and especially stored coppices and coppices with standards are now considered from a biodiversity conservation perspective as valuable forest habitats providing important conditions for saproxylic species and a unique herbaceous layer. In the Czech Republic, the benefits of ancient coppice woodlands are appreciated by conservationists as well. In countries where the conversion of most coppice woods into high forests has been completed, there is a danger of losing biodiversity. Similarly, the cultural and historical heritage relating to ancient coppice woodlands could be threatened. The failure to identify ancient coppice woodlands may result in accidental damage to the sites by management activities, which could otherwise be avoided. Thus, especially in the stored coppices, small archaeological features such as boundary stones, boundary trees, old paths, woodbanks, walls, stone rows, lynchets could be destroyed by harvesting.
