Abstract
The objective of the article was to model the economic efficiency of coppice and compare it with that of an oak high forest (primarily for the territory of Křivoklátsko Forest Park). The model calculations were based on actual expenses and revenues from the area of interest to the maximum possible extent. The calculations included methods both with time factor (dynamic methods, namely the method of net present value) and without time factor (static methods). For the area of Křivoklátsko Forest Park, the examined data showed that the economic efficiency of coppice could be greater than that of high forest or over-mature coppice.
Highlights
The advantage of the area of Křivoklátsko is that it remained almost untouched by the Neolithic revolution

Management of oak in the Czech Republic might appear beneficial for the future [20], the question is, which management system or combination of management systems shall be used for the said purpose in the examined area? It is possible to say that today’s forest stands with a predominance of sessile oak are a result of the transformations of coppices into high forests in the form of over-mature coppices exercised in the past or of intentional forest regeneration that gave rise to high forests
Summary
The advantage of the area of Křivoklátsko is that it remained almost untouched by the Neolithic revolution. As for the ownership, the area of Křivoklátsko was divided into two dominions: Křivoklátsko and Zbirožsko. The dominion of Zbirožsko was purchased by the Colloredo-Mannsfeld family in 1879. The family has been managing the territory, except for years 1948–1992, when the territory was administered by the State through the Forest State Enterprise, national fisheries, and agricultural cooperatives [2]. The industrial revolution of the late 18th and early 19th century mainly led to the development of steel, metallurgical, and glass industry in the region. With its large iron ore deposits, ample water sources, and deep forests, Křivoklátsko was an important industrial area. It is sometimes referred to as the cradle of the Czech iron and steel industry [3]
