1 to cut trees or bushes back in order to form a small, closely planted area --
Researchers say the existence of the northern part of the wood dates back to pre-historic times, as small-leaved lime coppices have been found on this part.
Such indicators can still be seen in many ancient woodlands, and large forest are often sub-divided into woods and coppices with banks and ditches as before.
At the start of the measurements in 1997 the average dbh of trees regenerated from seedlings and coppice was 3.72 + 0.39 cm and 4.18 + 0.37 cm, respectively.
Yield models for short rotation coppice of poplar and willow.
Withies for wicker-work are grown in coppices of various willow species, principally osier.
Gamhar trees coppices very well with vigorous growth.
The scattered coppices, meadows, scrub, and heath should be united, into one great whole.
Specimens may grow as individual trunks, multitrunk masses, coppices, clonal colonies, or even more exotic tree complexes.
