Lignocellulosic biomass production deriving from agro forest species, as well as poplar
(Populus spp.), has denoted an increase in last years in UE also thanks to a series of …

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 …

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 …

A modeling process was developed to examine the economic and environmental benefits of
utilizing energy crops for bioenergy products in the northeastern United States. Three …

Harvesting is the single largest cost in the production of short-rotation woody crops (SRWC)
like shrub willow, and previous systems tested in North America have not been effective for …

Harvesting is the most expensive, but the least investigated process in the cultivation of short
rotation woody crops (SRWC). To get a better idea of the harvesting process (in terms of its …

For avoiding competition with food production, marginal land is economically and
environmentally highly attractive for biomass production with short‐rotation coppices (SRC …

Risk and risk preferences belong to the key determinants of investment-based technology
adoption in agriculture. We develop and apply a novel approach in which an inverse second …

The cultivation of fast-growing wood (eg, poplar, willow or black locust) in short rotation
coppices and agroforestry systems presents an opportunity for producing biomass …

Several factors influence land availability for the growth of short rotation coppices (SRC) with
fast‐growing tree species, including the nationwide availability of agricultural land …
