Early thinning: a promising tool to prevent fistulina hepatica heart rot in castanea sativa coppice stands

Castanea sativa is a high-value tree species whose stands have faced significant threats over the past century. The occurrence of one such threat, Chestnut Red Stain—a heartwood discoloration caused by the fungus Fistulina hepatica—has recently increased. This disease devalues the timber by up to 70...
