Contemporary forest
Stand characterized by the presence of trees that are the same age or that, more frequently, were born a short time later, so that the conditions in which they have grown, particularly with regard to competition, can be considered uniform (source: “Selvicoltura generale" P. Piussi, UTET). 
Uneven-aged forest: a vegetal stand in which all ages are represented, in theory, up to those of the oldest tree, with a number of individuals progressively decreasing with age (source: “Selvicoltura generale" P. Piussi, UTET).

Coppice
Is a form of forest management in which the formation of the new stand takes place through suckers produced by buds (vegetative/agamic propagation). This renewal allows the conservation of a genotype that has proved to be particularly suitable for a given environmental situation (source: “Selvicoltura generale" P. Piussi, UTET).  Composed coppice: is a stand where both forms of government (coppice and forest) coexist on the same surface (source: “Selvicoltura generale" P. Piussi, UTET).
