A total of 15 permanent plots were established (5 treatments x 3 replicates per treatment) and the experimental design used is that of randomised blocks. Based on observations concerning seedlings and shoots development and standards growth and competitive effects, the following preliminary results may be highlighted: i) recovering the traditional coppicing system with few standards per hectare represents a valid option from both ecological and shoots growth point of view; the stools, with few standards per hectare, showed a larger number of sprouts, provided with a higher average height and larger diameters; ii) uneven-aged standards represent a good alternative form the points of view of both landscape impact immediately after felling operations and stand resistance to climatic damages; iii) a good alternative is to apply conversion treatments to high forest, whenever their site quality allows these operations.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SERRADA, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BRAVO, J.

Site of study is located in Riofrío forest, at 960 m a.s.l. at north facing slope of Guadarrama range (Central mountain range), on deep siliceous soils. After an ecological and dasonomic inventory 24 aged trees were fellen; dbh of fellen trees vary from 22.3 to 73.2 cm and age was estimated to be between 70 and 251 years. Contingence tables and logistic regression were used to test the dependence relationship among trees characteristics and the intensity of subsequent sprouting. One period growth after felling, 13 trees (62%) among the live ones (21) that had been felled present some shoots; after three growth periods, the same portion raised to 81% (17). We found only shoots of stump in 65% of the trees that had sprouted; 12% of trees that have only shoots of root and 23% of the trees with both types of shoots. Neither shoot production nor shoot type —stump or root— seems to be influenced by age.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">la Marca, Orazio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marziliano A., Pasquale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moretti, Nicola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Experimental research in ageing holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) coppices: preliminary results</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Two experimental designs were used to answer these questions. The first studied the effect of two cleaning intensities on 4, 8, 15, 20, and 25 year old coppices. The second studied the effect of 4 thin- O O/ ning intensities (26 o, 42.0, 58%, or 78 °,/o removal of the initial basal area) on 43 and 57 year old coppices. In both cases, control plots undergoing no silvicultural treatment were maintained for each age class. The results, 4 and 5 years after silvicultural treatment, concerned girth increment and height growth of coppice shoots. Cleaning or thinning consistently had a positive influence on girth increment. In young coppices, less than 25 years old, mean annual girth increment was approximately 6 mm in the controls and double that under heavy cleaning. In older coppices, girth increment was lower in controls (3 mm per year) but the effect of thinning was very positive and, under very heavy thinning, growth was more than 11 mm per year. Cleaning and thinning often modify height growth. This effect was found to be either positive or negative and no general trend could be defined which was valid for all the age classes. Silvicultural treatments also had a positive effect on the appearance and growth of epicormic shoots on the holm oak trunks. The results were also analysed at the stool level. The number or percentage of shoots removed had a positive effect on the individual growth of selected shoots</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ducrey, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Turrel, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of cutting methods and dates on stump sprouting in Holm oak (Quercus ilex L) coppice</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Four cutting methods were compared: chain saw at ground level and at 15 cm above ground, axe, and 'saut du piquet' ('stump breaking'). Cuttings were carried out every 2 months for a period of 1 year. Several important results can be described 4 years after cutting. Cuttings performed during the dormant season resulted in minimum stool mortality, and maximum new sprout number, height and diameter growth. An exception was cutting made during a winter frost period. Summer cuttings led to the poorest growth which, however, tended to be regained in subsequent years. Axe and chain saw cuttings yielded better results than 'saut du piquet' cutting. This last method resulted in high stool mortality and both fewer and smaller sprouts. Sprouts appeared to be more numerous and grew better when the stools initially had large and numerous shoots.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapp, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Derfoufi, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blanchard, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Productivity and nutrient uptake in a holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) stand and during regeneration after clearcut</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Ecology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biomass</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clearcut</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">coppice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nutrient use</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex L.</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1992</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99-100</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">263-272</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The effect of clearcutting on biomass production and nutrient consumption was examined during the two years in a clearcut and a mature Quercus ilex L. coppice. The comparison was limited to the leaf com- partment and to the annual shoots, which were the only con]parable compartments in the two situations. At the same time, the dynamics of the nutrient pool (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), monthly uptake and recycling from the foliage, were studied. The second year after cutting, the leaf production was roughly the same at the two sites. However, the photosynthates appear to be used differently: in the young stand the perennial wood production was greater than in the mature stand, where the maintenance costs are higher. This is corroborated by the patterns of nutrient use.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ducrey, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boisserie, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recrû naturel dans des taillis de chêne vert (Quercus ilex L) à la suite d'exploitations partielles</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

The aim of this article was to study the influence of coppice age (4 to 57 years old) and of intensities of cleaning (light and heavy) or thinning (26-78% of removed basal area) on the appearance and growth of new stump sprouts in Quercus ilex coppice. The sprout layer at soil level can be quantified by degree of closure, biomass and Quercus ilex sprout height. This layer grew regularly for the 5 years following harvest and increased in direct proportion to increase in thinning intensities; it was found to be greater for young coppice (25 years old and less) than for old coppice. Coppice functioning was then studied at the stool level. Number and growth of new sprouts inside each stool were then related to the initial characteristics of the initial stool as well as to the degree of thinning in the stool. Sprout number was proportional to number of cut shoots, while sprout growth tended to be related to percentage of shoot or basal area removed by thinning. Finally an attempt has been made to explain the functioning of the stools by separating the effects of the mean thinning intensity of each plot and of the degree of cutting for each stool. In conclusion, hypotheses have been proposed on physiological origin of the observed phenomena.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LEONARDI, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapp, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BIOMASS PRODUCTION AND NUTRIENT REQUIREMENT DURING RESTORATION OF A HOLM OAK COPPICE</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACTA OECOLOGICA-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biomass</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">coppice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NUTRIENT REQUIREMENT</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">STAND RESTORATION</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1990</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GAUTHIER-VILLARS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">S P E S-JOURNAL DEPT, 120 BD ST GERMAIN, F-75006 PARIS, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">819-834</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The restoration of a holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) coppice was studied during three years following a clear-cut. Leaf area rebuilding, above-ground biomass production and nutrient requirement are especially studied. The new produced above-ground biomass amounts respectively to 151, 913 and 2 161 g m-2, one, two and three years after clear-cut. Leaf area index, at the same ages, amounts respectively to 0,3-1,9 and 4,4 m2/m2. The last value is nearly the same as those of the 30 year old coppice stand (4,4 m2/m2). The biomass increment corresponds to a current yearly above-ground productivity of 165, 748 and 1 248 g m-2 of fresh material during these three years. The mean annual above-ground production, calculated over thirty years, only amounts to 800 g m-2. Concerning nutrients, it seems that the early years are characterized by a higher requirement of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in comparison to the mature stand. The needs for calcium start to be important only after the third year, with the reappearance of ``stems{''} and later trunks.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floret, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galan, N J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floc'h, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orshan, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romane, F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Local characterization of vegetation through growth forms: Mediterranean Quercus ilex coppice as an example</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Ecology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">coppice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">growth form</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Life form</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean climate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex L</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Southern France</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1987</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">71</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Growth forms are considered from two viewpoints: a descriptive and a functional one.
