The WSL initiated together with other institutions a research program aiming at high quality chestnut timber *(Castanea sativa)* by minimizing the costs and improving the functional features and the stability of the coppice stands.
of the NFI plots, we limit our assessment to Beech (Fagus sylvatica), Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), Chestnut (Castanea sativa), Larch (Larix decidua, Larix kaempferi), Norway spruce (Picea abies), Scots pine
