High-resolution pollen records from two Bronze Age Terramare settlements in northern Italy reveal recurrent cycles of woodland disturbance and regeneration that are consistent with coppicing. These findings show how resource exploitation developed into sustained forest management, maintaining regenerative capacity and renewable wood resources while leaving a lasting ecological legacy in lowland forests.

Abstract
High-resolution pollen records from two Bronze Age Terramare settlements in northern Italy reveal recurrent cycles of woodland disturbance and regeneration that are consistent with coppicing. These findings show how resource exploitation developed into sustained forest management, maintaining regenerative capacity and renewable wood resources while leaving a lasting ecological legacy in lowland forests.
