Nitrate leaching from short‐rotation coppice

Soil Use and Management, 2007
Abstract In the UK, short‐rotation coppice (SRC) is expected to become a significant source of ‘bio‐energy’ over the next few years. Thus, it is important to establish how nitrate leaching losses compare with conventional arable cropping, especially if SRC is grown in Nitrate Vulnerable Zones. Nitrate leaching was

Short rotation coppice for revaluation of contaminated land

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2001
When dealing with large-scale environmental contamination, as following the Chernobyl accident, changed land use such that the products of the land are radiologically acceptable and sustain an economic return from the land is a potentially sustainable remediation option.

Impact of Willow Short Rotation Coppice on Water Quality

BioEnergy Research, 2012
Short rotation coppice (SRC) with willow has been grown in Sweden from the late 1980s to produce biomass for energy on agricultural land. This study evaluated the effects of SRC on water quality by determining differences in leaching of nitrogen and phosphorus to groundwater of a number of commercial “old” SRC willow stands in Sweden compared to ...

Leaf demography in willow short-rotation coppice

Biomass and Bioenergy, 1993
Abstract The production, survivorship and death of cohorts of leaves within the canopies of three clones ( Salix burjatica “Korso”, S. viminalis “Mullatin” and S. x dasyclados ) of willow grown as short-rotation coppice were studied in a field experiment.

The economics of short rotation coppice in Germany

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2012
Abstract Short Rotation Coppice (SRC), which entails managing wood plantations as perennial energy crops on agricultural land, has the potential to contribute significant amounts of wooden biomass to Europe's energy mix. Yet, uncertainty prevails about the future of key economic variables determining the viability of SRC cultivations.

Pyrolysis kinetics of short rotation coppice poplar biomass

Energy, 2020
Abstract Woody biomass can be converted into green fuels by advanced conversion technologies such as gasification and pyrolysis. Due to the complexity of woody biomass, the thermochemical decomposition mechanisms are complex and the knowledge of pyrolysis kinetics is mandatory for optimization of the process and reactor design of commercial scale ...

Poplar Short-Rotation Coppice in Southern Italy

2017
With the aim to extend short-rotation forestry for bioenergy purposes with poplars in Southern Italy and to verify the biomass production of poplar clones in these environments, characterized by low water availability, five trials were established in the frame of the FAESI Project during the last eight years. Unrooted cuttings of different genotypes of

Nutrient Exportations in Very-Short Rotation Coppice of Poplar

2010
The production of above-ground biomass (leaves aside) was studied for six very-short rotation coppice stands (VSRC) of 1 or 2 year-old poplars planted on various sites. The number of stumps by hectare ranged from 5600 to 13330, the number of stems by stump from 1 (first rotation) to 16 (depending on rotations) and the -1 -1 production of biomass from 0,

Environmental Sustainability of Poplar Short Rotation Coppice Harvesting Systems

2021
One of the possible sources of wood biomass production is represented by the SRC poplar plantations. In the present work, poplar plantations characterized by 4 different cutting shifts (2, 3, 4, 5 years) were considered and for each of them the Global Warming Potential (GWP) was evaluated according to the IPCC method. With regard to the rotation cycle,
