Environmental aspects of fast growing trees

Abstrakt

Poster - Short rotation coppice (SRC) of fast growing trees are plantations of tree species, such as in Europe poplar (Populus spp.) and willow (Salix spp.), which, due to rapid increases in wood are established on agricultural land and harvested in rotations of 3 – 10 years, depending on tree species, environment and management conditions and grown to coppice system. The few technological aspects which need to be improved with regard to SRC cultivation are harvesting techniques and optimization of use-specific logistic chains. SRC plantations of hybrid poplars are attractive for some farmers or owners of agricultural land due to the potential for energy production. The establishing plantations and energy use of wood from SRC plantations could environmental affect.
