With the help of wood production and consumption estimates, we also calculated the minimum area of managed woodland for the study period. Subsequently we used the MAXENT algorithm to create a model of the distribution of coppicing over the entire area. We created an extensive database of written sources that contained information on the presence of coppice woods at the parish level.
This paper investigates the distribution and extent of coppice management in Moravia (eastern Czech Republic, ca. However, little is known about the distribution and extent of coppicing at the landscape scale, and forming a coherent picture of the spatial extent rather than the management details of coppicing in larger regions remains a challenge. Detailed studies of individual sites or smaller areas have provided a wealth of information on the methods of medieval coppicing, and at such sites the long-term effects of coppicing on vegetation structure and composition have also been examined. In spite of the growing body of research on traditional woodland management, there remain large gaps in knowledge.
Recent research has shown that in European temperate lowlands the most important management form to produce firewood was coppicing. Firewood played an indispensable role in European socio-economic systems from prehistory until the nineteenth century.
