Abstract

Growth pattern and architecture have been studied in Quercus ilex L. and Fraxinus ornus L. stools as main phenomena, testing the space occupation dynamics by the new population of shoots after coppicing. In the early years after coppicing, Fraxinus ornus L. rapidly occupies the vertical space by long spring flushes, while Quercus ilex L. occupies both the vertical and horizontal available space by a complex network of primary meristems.
