ABSTRACT:The objective of this paper was to test the hypothesis that growth and soil moisture would increase after heavy thinning in seven years old oak-hornbeam coppice stand. Effects of thinning on (i) diameter and height increment of the remaining sprouts in polycormons, and (ii) soil moisture were studied one year after thinning. The experiment was carried out in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic. Thinning reduced 50% of the total stump basal area per polycormon. One to five dominant sprouts were left. Results showed that thinning significantly increased diameter increment of sessile oak (59%) and European hornbeam (61%). However, thinning did not increase height increment of sessile oak and European hornbeam. Diameter increments of sessile oak and European hornbeam were not different. Height increment of European hornbeam was 30% higher than that of sessile oak in thinned plots and 53% higher in unthinned plots. Soil moisture increased significantly in thinned plots.

“…Anche altri Autori confermano le complessive maggiori prestazioni produttive dei turni più lunghi (HERVE E CEULEMANS, 1996;LIESEBACH et al, 1999;PROE et al, 1999). Peraltro, a parità di altri fattori, l'allungamento del turno può avere riflessi negativi sulle possibilità di completa meccanizzazione della fase di raccolta del materiale prodotto.…”

“…Among the particularly stressed advantages of the so-called open forests are their higher biodiversity (Ash, Barkham 1976;Mason, MacDonald 2002;Gondard, Romane 2005;Van Calster et al 2008;Valbuena-Carabana et al 2008) and higher production of firewood in short rotation periods (Proe et al 1999). The global economic crisis, constantly increasing prices of fossil energy sources, as well as the support which the EU states channel to energy production from renewable resources have significantly boosted the interest in coppices (Jansen, Kuiper 2004).…”

Based on yield tables for oak high forest and oak coppice (both first site class) and using assortment tables and assortment prices in the Czech Republic in 2009, a set of variants of conversion of high forest to coppice was simulated. Average annual cut and average gross value of annual cut of such conversions were compared with those of well-established (in terms of the age structure balance) variants of coppice and high forest. Under the existing ratio of assortment prices, established coppice does not reach the gross value yield of high forest. No variant of simulated conversions was more financially profitable than the initial high forest. Furthermore, we found out that a +16.8% increase of the current fuel wood price would counterbalance the mean annual increment of gross value of the best coppice and the worst oak high forest variant. On the other hand, a +164.7% fuel wood price increase would be necessary to counterbalance the mean annual increment of gross value of the worst coppice and the best high forest variants.
