The stump (and tap root) that is left in the ground after a tree has fallen or has been cut is the primary source of fatwood, as the resin-impregnated heartwood becomes hard and rot-resistant after the tree has died. Wood from other locations can also be used, such as the joints where limbs intersect the trunk.
Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (mFTIR) yielded evidence, in the form of burned bones and ashed plant remains, that burning took place at the site 1.0 Mya. [ 3 ] East African sites, such as Chesowanja near Lake Baringo , Koobi Fora , and Olorgesailie in Kenya , show possible evidence that fire was controlled by early humans. [ 1 ]
A forest or grove that has been subject to coppicing is called a copse / k ɒ p s / or coppice, in which young tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level. The resulting living stumps are called stools. New growth emerges, and after a number of years, the coppiced trees are harvested, and the cycle begins anew.

More than 90,000 pounds of raw ground beef is being recalled because it may be contaminated with a reflective mirror-like material. Recalled ground beef may be contaminated with ‘mirror-like ...
Uprooted tree stumps. Stump harvesting is not a new process. Records of tree stumps being dug out of the ground for wood fuel go back hundreds of years in Europe. It was practiced in the 1970s in Swedish forests before declining in popularity, but is being considered again there now that there is a greater need for fuel wood.
