| Preferred label | Coppice, Low Forest |
| Definition | A coppice forest (de: Niederwald) is a traditionally managed woodland, normally with broadleaved trees. This form involves cutting back the trees every 15 to 25 years. The method exploits the capacity of many species of trees to put out new shoots from their stump or roots if cut down. In a coppiced wood, which is called a copse, young tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level, resulting in a stool. New growth emerges, and after a number of years, the coppiced tree is harvested, and the cycle begins anew. |
