AB  - Coppice forests in South-Eastern Europe (SEE) cover a broad range of ecological conditions. So far approaches to structure the variety of coppice forests were either highly aggregated or relied on very specific local to regional phytocoenological classification systems which defy a coherent comparison between SEE countries and at European level. To bridge this gap this article presents a methodological approach to allocate current coppice forests in SEE to European forest types (EFT) using readily available information. The approach is presented by means of the example of Croatia, a country that shares many common features with other countries in SEE with regard to biogeographical and vegetation diversity of forests, but also with regard to the currently used methods for assessment of national forest resources and coppice forests in particular. In the presented approach the map of natural vegetation of Europe (Bohn et al., 2004) is combined with the area of regional forest offices (RFO), the forest area of Corine 2000 land cover map, and the area distribution of 12 coppice management classes within RFOs. Within each RFO, coppice management classes are linked with occurring EFTs. If more than one EFT could be linked with a particular coppice management class, random distribution of coppice forests over eligible EFTs is assumed. In total 499.687 ha (93.6% of the total coppice area) were classified, whereof for 76.4% the classification to EFTs was possible with high confidence, in other cases an approximation was made based on the available information. The presented methodology appears useful for a rapid stratification of coppice forest resources by the combined use of currently available national data on coppice forests in countries of the SEE region and available data sets at European level. As soon as plot-level national forest inventory data becomes available an evaluation and eventual improvement of the approach will be possible.

AB  - High diversity of site conditions and vegetation patterns in South Eastern Europe (SEE), accompanied by different socio-cultural background of countries, has produced a wealth of diverse coppice stands and a variety of management practices. The paper provides an overview on past and recent coppice forest management in four selected countries in SEE: Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia, in which coppice forestry has been of significant importance. The following main coppice forest types have been recognised in respect to their past management and current condition: (i) traditional coppice forests; (ii) 'high coppice' forests; (iii) coppice forests for transformation and reconstruction; (iv) coppice forests with standards and 'middle-aged' forests; (v) pollarding forests; (vi) selection coppice forests; (vii) shelterbelts (windbreaks, erosion shelterbelts, etc); (viii) oak coppices for shelling; and (ix) coppice forests subjected to no management. The paper emphasizes the contribution of sustainable management of coppice forest resources to ecological stability and economic development of SEE, which could be achieved by both considering the traditional management concepts and introducing new ecologically, economically and socially sound management practices.
