What is it about?
Long-term stand and canopy structural data from permanent monitoring plots representative of some most diffuse temperate and Mediterranean forests, under different coppice management regimes. Periodic inventories were performed in the surveyed plots since the 1970s

Why is it important?
These data can be used for evaluating the influence of coppice management in the stand and canopy structure, the parametrization of radiative transfer models that require accurate ground truth data, and the calibration of high to medium resolution remotely sensed data
Perspectives
The presented data allow a long-term assessment of coppice management influence within each stand, which is representative of the most widespread temperate and Mediterranean forest types. In addition, the selected variables and used experimental designs are in accordance with those of other studies specifically addressing forest dynamics and long-term forest monitoring programs such as UNECE\ICP, allowing large-scale comparison with other datasets and studies.
