Coppicing is a traditional method of woodland management which exploits the capacity of many species of trees to put out new shoots from their stump or roots if cut down. In a coppiced wood, which is called a copse, young tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level, resulting in a stool. New growth emerges, and after a number of years, the coppiced tree is harvested, and the cycle begins anew.
Trees being coppiced can not die of old age as coppicing maintains the tree at a juvenile stage, allowing them to reach immense ages.

Thinning is similar to re-spacing as you don't take out rows but randomly select individual trees within the woodland. As the trees reach 10-15 years old, they begin to compete with each other for space, light, and nutrients and the growth-rate starts to slow. Thinning makes sure that the best trees grow at the fastest rate, allowing a more diverse woodland structure.

Clearcutting, clearfelling or clearcut logging is a forestry/logging practice in which most or all trees in an area are uniformly cut down for Sawmills, Firewood or Biomass.
