Evaluating ecosystem processes in willow short rotation coppice bioenergy plantations
Despite a growing body of research linking bioenergy cultivation to changing patterns of biodiversity, there has been remarkably little interest in how bioenergy plantations affect key ecosystem processes underpinning important ecosystem services. In this study, we compare how the processes of predation by ground arthropods and litter decomposition varied between Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) wi...
متن کاملUnmanned aerial vehicles for pre-harvest biomass estimation in willow (Salix spp.) coppice plantations
Bioenergy crops provide a form of renewable energy, contributing to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Short rotation coppice (SRC) bioenergy crops, including willow (Salix spp.) and poplar (Populus spp.) are planted commercially in the UK and more widely across Europe for use in heat and power generation [1] often on set-aside or arable agricultural land. However, available data on yield ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Chemical Soil Properties on Weed Infestation Structure in Willow (Salix L.) Short-Rotation Coppice
Differences in soil and habitat conditions, depending on the type of soil on which shrubby species of willow Salix L. are being grown for energy purposes, are reflected in weed infestation species diversity and the distinctiveness of these crops, and require an individual program of control and reduction of the abundance of competitive herbaceous vegetation. Our study aimed at determining soil ...
متن کاملInvestigation of tension wood formation and 2,6-dichlorbenzonitrile application in short rotation coppice willow composition and enzymatic saccharification
BACKGROUND Short rotation coppice willow is a potential lignocellulosic feedstock in the United Kingdom and elsewhere; however, research on optimising willow specifically for bioethanol production has started developing only recently. We have used the feedstock Salix viminalis × Salix schwerinii cultivar 'Olof' in a three-month pot experiment with the aim of modifying cell wall composition and ...
متن کاملPotential benefits of commercial willow Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) for farm-scale plant and invertebrate communities in the agri-environment
The cultivation of bioenergy crops (BECs) represents a significant land-use change in agrienvironments, but their deployment has raised important issues globally regarding possible impacts on biodiversity. Few studies however, have systematically examined the effect of commercial scale bioenergy plantations on biodiversity in agri-ecosystems. In this study we investigate how the abundance and d...
