IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress 2017

IUFRO2017-Header

Scientific Session 82a and 82b
"Traditional Coppice: Ecology, Silviculture and Socio-economic Aspects"


EuroCoppice organised Session 82 a and b at the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress that was held from September 18th to 22nd in Freiburg, Germany (www.iufro2017.com). The Session management was led by the EuroCoppice Freiburg Team and it was chaired by Valeriu-Norocel Nicolescu (EuroCoppice WG2 Leader, IUFRO Unit 1.03.01 Coordinator) and Gero Becker (Chair of EuroCoppice). It took place in the Audimax of the University of Freiburg on Tuesday September 19th from 15:00-17:00 and 17:30-19:00. There were 13 presentations in total, 10 of which by EuroCoppice members, while three of five posters were also presented by EuroCoppice members. Over 60 persons attended the Traditional Coppice Session and EuroCoppice dissemination material was available to the 2000 researchers attending the Congress.

The Session addressed all aspects related to this specific management of coppice, including ecology, silviculture, management, utilization, landscape, ecosystem services, supply chain development and further socio-economic issues. It explored historical and existing coppice systems, highlighting common principles and regional differences of coppice regimes.

This event was symbolic for international coppice research as it marked the end of COST Action EuroCoppice, but also the beginning of the newly formed IUFRO Unit 1.03.01 “Traditional coppice: ecology, silviculture and socio-economic aspects”.
