The Suitability of Short Rotation Coppice Crops for Phytoremediation of Urban Soils
This experiment was aimed at verifying the usefulness of phytoremediation using Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) in an urban Zn-contaminated site. Besides elemental uptake and reclamation, the SRC method was applied to evaluate the additional benefits of a ...

Torrefaction of Short Rotation Coppice of Poplar under Oxidative and Non-Oxidative Atmospheres
Torrefaction improves some of the poorest characteristics of biomass such as hygroscopicity, low energy density, or poor grindability which may cause some problems during its handling, storage and combustion.

Quality Testing of Short Rotation Coppice Willow Cuttings [PDF]
The production and feasibility of Short Rotation Coppice depend on cutting early performance. The shoot and root biomass production of Salix cuttings in hydroponic conditions was studied. The amount of sprouted biomass after four weeks of growth depended on cutting the diameter, but the original position of the cutting along the rod or number of ...
