@[email protected] Harvesting wood without killing tree is the way of living back then. Too sad we forgot this way. > Before the Industrial Revolution, a lot of wood was harvested from living trees, which were coppiced. The principle of coppicing is based on the natural ability of many broad-leaved species to regrow from damaged stems or roots – damage caused by fire, wind, snow, animals, pathogens, or (on slopes) falling rocks. Coppice management involves the cutting down of trees close to ground level, after which the base – called the “stool” – develops several new shoots, resulting in a multi-stemmed tree. https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2020/09/how-to-make-biomass-energy-sustainable-again.html
