Plantation forests are established, and expanding, to satisfy increasing global demand for
timber products. Shifting societal values, such as safety, productivity, environmental, quality …

Bioenergy will be one component of a suite of alternatives to fossil fuels. Effective
conversion of biomass to energy will require the careful pairing of advanced conversion …

In Mediterranean countries, olive tree pruning residue represents an abundant source of
energy biomass, still largely unexploited for lack of cost-effective harvesting technology. The …

Short rotation plantations (SRP s) are fast‐growing trees (such as willow (Salix spp.), poplar
(Populus spp.) and Eucalyptus) grown closely together and harvested in periods of 2–20 …

Although there is a need for biomass and a potential for short rotation coppice (SRC),
farmers hesitate to establish SRC, even on marginal agricultural land on which annual crops …

Vineyards cover about eight millions of hectares worldwide and their annual pruning
generates a large amount of ligno-cellulosic biomass, potentially available for industrial and …

Short-rotation woody crops like shrub willow are a potential source of biomass for energy
generation and bioproducts. However, since willow crops are not widely grown in North …

Ensuring increased and sustainable biomass production is critical for European countries.
Short-rotation coppice (SRC) plantations on agricultural lands have a great potential to …

Abstract Poplar Short Rotation Coppices can provide lignocellulosic raw material, promote
