Coppicing of willow, alder and poplar for energy wood has proven commercially successful. [20] The Willow Biomass Project in the United States is an example of this. In this case the coppicing is done in a way that an annual or more likely a tri-annual cut can happen. This seems to maximize the production volume from the stand.
SRF is the practice of cultivating fast-growing trees that reach their economically optimum size between 8 and 20 years old. Species used are selected on this basis and include alder, ash, southern beech, birch, Eucalyptus, poplar, willow, [1] [2] new varieties of Paulownia elongata, paper mulberry, Australian blackwood and sycamore.
A field of coppiced poplar in Hampshire. Short rotation coppice (SRC) is coppice grown as an energy crop.This woody solid biomass can be used in applications such as district heating, electric power generating stations, alone or in combination with other fuels.
A regeneration method which depends on the sprouting of cut trees. Most hardwoods, the coast redwood, and certain pines naturally sprout from stumps and can be managed through coppicing. Coppicing is generally used to produce fuelwood, pulpwood, and other products dependent on small trees. A close relative of coppicing is pollarding. [127]
It is a necrotrophic parasite on weakened birches, and will cause brown rot and eventually death, being one of the most common fungi visible on dead birches. It is likely that the birch bracket fungus becomes established in small wounds and broken branches and may lie dormant for years, compartmentalised into a small area by the tree's own ...
A high forest is a type of forest originated from seed or from planted seedlings. In contrast to a low forest [1] (also known as a coppice forest), a high forest usually consists of large, tall mature trees with a closed canopy. [2]
