Can we use short rotation coppice poplar for sugar based biorefinery feedstock? Bioconversion of 2-year-old poplar grown as short rotation coppice. [PDF]

Biotechnol Biofuels, 2017
Background Feedstock cost is a substantial barrier to the commercialization of lignocellulosic biorefineries. Poplar grown using a short rotation coppice (SRC) system has the potential to provide a low-cost feedstock and economically viable sugar yields ...

Acid-Catalyzed Liquefaction of Biomasses from Poplar Clones for Short Rotation Coppice Cultivations. [PDF]

Molecules, 2022
Liquefaction of biomass delivers a liquid bio-oil with relevant chemical and energetic applications. In this study we coupled it with short rotation coppice (SRC) intensively managed poplar cultivations aimed at biomass production while safeguarding ...

Contrasting Weather and Stocking Effects on Eucalyptus Initial Coppice Response in Brazil. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
In Eucalyptus plantations, coppice rotations often yield less than initial rotations. The TECHS project (Tolerance of Eucalyptus Clones to Hydric, Thermal and Biotic Stresses) studied short rotation coppicing across a 3000 km gradient. The main objective

Successional changes of phytodiversity on a short rotation coppice plantation in Oberschwaben, Germany. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2015
To allow for information on successional changes in phytodiversity over time and space, as well as information on differences between clones and treatments, phytodiversity was monitored on a poplar short rotation coppice plantation in Oberschwaben ...

Increasing the Value Recovery from Short-Rotation Coppice Harvesting

BioResources, 2016
Farmers are reluctant to establish short-rotation coppice because too many uncertainties remain about its economic feasibility. Up to now, most progress has been accomplished by increasing plantation yields through genetic improvement and by reducing ...

Impact of RAV1-engineering on poplar biomass production: a short-rotation coppice field trial. [PDF]

Biotechnol Biofuels, 2017
Background Early branching or syllepsis has been positively correlated with high biomass yields in short-rotation coppice (SRC) poplar plantations, which could represent an important lignocellulosic feedstock for the production of second-generation ...

Willow short rotation coppice. Energy and environmental assessment

Cleaner Environmental Systems
Wood chip production from short-rotation coppice (SRC) can be an interesting opportunity for farmers and for the environment. SRC cultivation in fertile arable land, with full mechanisation of the operations, results in higher yields.

Sprout Regeneration of Shrub Willows after Cutting. [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2020
Shrub willow (Salix L. spp.) is a promising bioenergy resource crop due to its high growth rates and superb regenerative ability. Sprouting capacity is influenced by many factors, such as parent tree species and size, which are important limiting factors

Mechanised harvesting of short-rotation coppices

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2020
Short-rotation coppice (SRC) is an important source of woody biomass for bioenergy. Despite the research carried out on several aspects of SRC production, many uncertainties create barriers to farmers establishing SRC plantations. One of the key economic sources of uncertainty is harvesting methods and costs; more specifically, the performance of ...

The use of degraded peatlands for biomass production [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2021
The goal of this research is an assessment of the possible use of peatlands biomass and straw for the production of mixed bio-pellets. Peaty soils are a specific type of soils formed as the result of wetlands drainage.
