Small-scale timber production uses coppicing, cutting trees near the ground to encourage new shoot growth, and rotational coppicing across different areas to maintain biodiversity by preventing light blockage. Pollarding is an alternative, raising the cut to protect shoots from browsing animals.
La producción maderera a pequeña escala utiliza el desmoche, un método de corte de árboles cerca del suelo para fomentar el crecimiento de nuevos brotes, y la rotación en diferentes áreas para mantener la biodiversidad al no permitir que los árboles bloqueen la luz solar. La poda es una alternativa que eleva el corte para proteger los brotes del ramoneo del ganado.
| Front | small-scale timber production uses coppicing and how it maintains bio and alternatives |
|---|---|
| Back | small-scale uses coppicing, where trunk cut close to grounf, shoots grow on cut section and mature, these shoots removed and more replace them, rotational coppicing used where woodland sectioned into areas, only trees in 1 area coppiced, then next area coppiced while first matures, continues till you reach first area again, where repeats maintains bio as trees never grow enough to block out light (dec succession, inc survival), pollarding used as alternative (cut trunks hgher up so animals dont eat shoots |
