Processing Woody Debris Biomass for Co-Milling with Pulverized Coal
The USDA, Forest Service, Forest Products Lab funds several grants each year for the purpose of studying woody biomass utilization. One selected project proposed removing small diameter stems and unmerchantable woody material from National Forest lands and delivering it to a coal-fired power plant in Alabama for energy conversion. The Alabama Power Company will test the utilization of the woody...

1. Maximum rate of cut that would provide a hillslope landslide rate of <20% over background, assuming no areas are protected by no-cut buffers .. Summary Downstream impacts to aquatic environments and property generally occur as cumulative watershed impacts, which are usually caused by changes in the transport of woody debris, water, and sediment through a watershed. The downstream cumulative ...
متن کاملWoody debris research: Overview
Fallen woody debris, standing dead trees (taller than 1.3 m) and stumps (shorter than 1.3 m) constitute a large portion of total above-ground carbon in tropical and temperate forests (Keller et al. 2004; Rice et al. 2004). In addition to being an important carbon pool, aboveground necromass is important in nutrient cycling, water retention, fuel load, and as resources for many organisms. Despit...
متن کاملDo biomass harvesting guidelines influence herpetofauna following harvests of logging residues for renewable energy?.
Forests are a major supplier of renewable energy; however, gleaning logging residues for use as woody biomass feedstock could negatively alter habitat for species dependent on downed wood. Biomass Harvesting Guidelines (BHGs) recommend retaining a portion of woody biomass on the forest floor following harvest. Despite BHGs being developed to help ensure ecological sustainability, their contribu...
متن کاملDecay and nutrient dynamics of coarse woody debris in the Qinling Mountains, China
As an ecological unit, coarse woody debris (CWD) plays an essential role in productivity, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, community regeneration and biodiversity. However, thus far, the information on quantification the decomposition and nutrient content of CWD in forest ecosystems remains considerably limited. In this study, we conducted a long-term (1996-2013) study on decay and nutri...
