COMPREHENSIVE IN BREADTH and depth, Coppice Agroforestry is a richly-illustrated, practical guide to resprout silviculture ¿ managing trees and shrubs by coppicing, pollarding, shredding, and pleaching ¿ for a continuous supply of small diameter polewood for products from firewood to fine furniture.
Contextualizing resprout silviculture historically, ecologically, and economically, Coppice Agroforestry explores the potential of this ancient practice for modern times. Coverage includes:
- A glimpse into the cultural history of coppicing
- Tree anatomy, biology, and woodland ecology
- A suite of woodland management systems
- Details on dozens of handcrafted wood products, organized along a continuum of value
- Case studies of diverse coppice-based enterprises
- Assessment of existing forests for coppice potential
- How to design new resprout silviculture systems
- Detailed tables highlighting diverse species for various uses
- A vision of a modern resprout silviculture renaissance.
Over a decade in the making, encyclopedic in scope, and written by the hand of a woodsman, Coppice Agroforestry is a deep dive into this ancient practice, blending it with modern science, systems thinking, and tools to bring it firmly into the 21st century.
Whether you have a few trees or a forest, this is the must-have practical guide for homesteaders, farmers, foresters, land managers, and educators who ally themselves with the remarkable resilience of woody plants.
Coppice Agroforestry is a comprehensive guide, based on science and practical experience, to a truly perennial system for producing diverse wood products.
