Dependence of Weed Composition on Cultivated Plant Species and Varieties in Energy-Tree and -Grass Plantations

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Energy plantations create new habitats in agricultural landscapes with species compositions different from those in forests or farmlands. The purpose of our nine-year research project (2010–2018) was to evaluate the dependence of weed-species richness ...

Aboveground biomass equations for black willow (Salix nigra Marsh.) and eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh.)

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People, 2022
Black willow and eastern cottonwood are fast-growing hardwoods native to river bottoms throughout the southeastern United States, e.g., the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV), that are often grown as short rotation woody crops (SRWCs) because of ...

Evaluation of Indirect Measurement Method of Seasonal Patterns of Leaf Area Index in a High-Density Short Rotation Coppice Culture of Poplar

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2016
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important determinant of biomass production and yield of short rotation bio-energy plantation. An accurate measurement of LAI is critical for quantifying light interception and penetration within the canopy, and subsequently ...

Preprocessing and Hybrid Biochemical/Thermochemical Conversion of Short Rotation Woody Coppice for Biofuels

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2018
Preprocessing with air classification, followed by a hybrid biochemical/thermochemical conversion scheme, was utilized to improve the quality of short rotation woody coppice (SRWC) for biofuels production. Air classification improved sugar release during

The Suitability of Short Rotation Coppice Crops for Phytoremediation of Urban Soils

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
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

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
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.

Work analysis of the machine Claas Jaguar 880 employed in short rotation coppice harvesting

open access: yesForest@, 2010
Working times observed during different harvesting phases in a poplar short rotation coppice (second rotation) were calculated. The main objective of the work was to evaluate the yard productivity and the economic gain in order to furnish good ...

Quality Testing of Short Rotation Coppice Willow Cuttings [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2018
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 ...
