WG 1 Definitions
Defintions, History and Typology
It is necessary to understand, “translate” and harmonize these terms to create a common understanding on the European level. In this context existing types of coppice forests (based e.g. on species, terrain, ecosystem, management type) were collected, described and classified.
Furthermore WG 1 collected and evaluated the available statistical data on coppice forests (areas, structure, geographical distribution, type, ownership…) and based on this identify knowledge gaps or shortcomings e. g. related to national forest inventories. While gathering data about coppice forests in Europe, information regarding the historical background and development of coppice forests were collected.
