As @EBU_DIGRIZ mentioned. Medieval forest/wood was very different from our recent forest.
- Composition was different. Dont know exact composition but much less of pinophytes like spruce (Picea abies). And a lot of for example hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), hazel (Corylus avelana), which corresponds with the management namely “coppicing”. Wood was used for heating and making of wood coal (so I am going to expect some charcoal/wood piles/milíř/Kohlenmeiler). Also you dont need high and thick trees for that. But smaller woods and quick growing trees.
- There were fever forest, like I have said due to the wood consuption. In lover parts were crops with lower yield compared to todays crop yields. Slopes were used as pastures and grasslands to supply with hay on winter. Todays Czech Republic is actually awfully overgrown with spruce.
- Also it is very interesting that grazin was forbidden by Mary Theresa in 18th century. And what is more funny, that the ban is still active even it is currently useless. Forest grazing has big influence on forest recovery it slows it down, and it was something very usual in middle ages.
