“…Similarly, no significant growth response to N fertiliser addition (94 kg N ha −1 ) was found in a Eucalyptus grandis coppice in South Africa [3]. Another study on the application of N fertiliser in a coppiced E. urophylla hybrid crop found no positive growth response [8]; however, the coppice stand in that study did respond strongly to added K fertiliser, as K is the most limiting nutrient in Brazilian soils [7,8].…”

“…The lack of significant response to N and P fertiliser application is similar to findings in other studies with Eucalyptus coppice plantations. For example, no growth response was found to the application of N (100 kg N ha −1 ) and P (40 kg P ha −1 ) in Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis coppice stands at two sites in Brazil [7]. Similarly, no significant growth response to N fertiliser addition (94 kg N ha −1 ) was found in a Eucalyptus grandis coppice in South Africa [3].…”

“…Therefore, E. pellita plantations can be re-established through coppice regrowth. Coppice eucalyptus plantations have been practiced for a number of eucalypt plantation species with a great deal of success in many parts of the world, such as South Africa [2][3][4], Brazil [5][6][7][8], Australia [9], and China [10]. The productivity of a coppice plantation has been reported to be similar or greater than that of the originally planted crop [4,5,8,11], but there may be a trade-off in productivity if survival (and therefore residual stocking) is low, vigour is less, or if the genetic material has improved markedly.…”

Eucalyptus pellita can be regenerated through coppice. We report on the first known study of full-rotation productivity of E. pellita coppice and seedling re-establishment methods. We conducted this study at a high productivity site in South Sumatra, with the objectives to (1) evaluate the productivity of a first rotation of coppice stand in comparison with a replanted seedling crop, (2) investigate the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertiliser application on growth, and (3) examine the effect of timing of coppice stem number reduction on growth. The experiment was laid out in a randomised complete block design replicated five times. At the end of rotation (6 years after establishment) the coppice stand had substantially higher productivity (height 23.7 m, diameter 16.4 cm, volume 269.9 m3 ha−1, and MAI 45.0 m3 ha−1 y−1) compared to the replanted seedling stand (height 20.5 m, diameter 13.8 cm, volume 193.6 m3 ha−1, and MAI 32.3 m3 ha−1 y−1). Coppice stand also had higher biomass production but slightly lower wood density than the seedling stand. Neither stand responded to application of N fertiliser, and only the seedling stand responded positively to P fertiliser addition. Coppice reduction to one stem at 2 months after tree felling produced the stand with slightly greater diameter than that at 4 months after tree felling, but had approximately the same volume.

“…One of the advantages of Eucalyptus compared to other forest species is its ability to sprout after the tree is felled, which enables the stands to be managed in a regime called coppicing. After the tree is cut, the stump can produce several shoots, due to the stimulus of adventitious buds [5,6], originating several trunks.…”

“…What has been observed in most conditions of Eucalyptus cultivation in Brazil is the reduction of production in successive harvests in stands managed by coppicing. In general, such reduction can be attributed to the lower availability of nutrients [6,8], due to their export; soil compaction [9,10]; damage to the buds during harvest [11]; gradual increase in the number of stumps that do not sprout [5]; water regime [5], among others.…”

Eucalyptus stands can be managed by coppicing, however, in several Brazilian regions reduced yield has been observed with harvesting successions. This reduction can be attributed to reduced nutrient availability, among other factors. This study aimed to: to assess the nutritional demand of the Eucalyptus stand under a coppice regime; the effect of fertilization on the production of wood, distribution and compartmentalization of nutrients in eucalyptus stands managed by coppice; the effect of the height and number of shoots, on the occasion of the sprouting, in the production of eucalyptus managed by coppice and to compare the productivity of high eucalyptus wood with coppice management regime. The trial was conducted for clone GG157 (Eucalyptus urophylla hybrid), in Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo (Oxisol), of the Cerrado region in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Trees were originally planted at the 3.8 × 2.4 m spacing and, after the first harvesting, at age 84 months, the stand was managed by coppicing. Treatments consisted of: (a) fertilization or not; (b) one, two or four poles per stump; and (c) selection of 1-, 2- or 4-m-high poles and repeated three times. Sixty months after treatment application, plots of 80 trees were used for the assessments. The gain in trunk yield with fertilization and the combination between the height of poles at the time of pole selection and number of poles left varies between 140.2% for thinning when the pole is 2 m high and maintains 1 pole per strain and 128.6% when the plants are 1 m high and maintain 1 pole per strain. Not supplying nutrients in the coppicing system leads to lower accumulation of nutrients in the tree and reductions in both wood and trunk yields. Trees in the coppicing system use nutrients for trunk production more efficiently than those in high forest. Earlier pole selection enables the best use of growth resources, resulting in increased yield. Adequate nutritional management of coppiced stands results in the maintenance or increase of yield compared to the first rotation.
