This book was released on 1978 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to present a preliminary estimate of the potential contribution of forestry biomass to Canada's energy requirements to the year 2025. It begins with a review of forestry biomass conversion technologies, from which three reference cases have been formulated to facilitate discussion: direction conversion of wood to electricity in a 50-megawatt boiler; low-Btu gasification of wood combined with on-site utilization; and wood gasification combined with methanol production from the resulting synthesis gas. The report then estimates the total resource of forest biomass in Canada and evaluates sources of supply, including forest residues and energy plantations. It discusses principal uses for the different types of energy (steam, electricity, fuels) that can be produced from forest biomass, the factors affecting implementation of forest biomass energy technologies (including institutional constraints and environmental and social impacts), and the costs of energy produced by the three reference cases.

Download or read book Methods to Estimate Total Forest Biomass for Extensive Forest Inventories written by Eric H. Wharton and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing literature on procedures for estimating tree biomass for northeastern tree species includes a number of research studies that are specific and localized. As a result, there is little consistency in these estimation procedures, which are largely in the form of regression equations. In addition, many species are ignored that need to be quantified when inventories of forest resources are conducted over extensive areas. This makes it difficult to determine the most appropriate biomass-estimation procedures. In this paper, an evaluation is made of prediction models and their application over the entire range of northeastern tree species. Recommendations are also made on procedures for the more nontimber oriented elements of total forest biomass-shrub biomass, foliage biomass, stump and root biomass, and biomass on unproductive forest land.

Download or read book Model Based Volume To Biomass Conversion for Forested and Vegetated Land in Canada written by Paul Boudewyn and published by . This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the demand for forest biomass information, new models have been developed to estimate biomass of forest stands and the more common vegetated, non-treed areas in Canada. The modeling approach is distinct for the kind of stand (or polygon) under consideration, and includes techniques that can be used to estimate all the above-ground biomass components, including stem wood, stem bark, branches, and foliage. Plot data supplied from forest inventory agencies throughout Canada formed the basis of developing empirical volume-to-biomass conversion models for forested (treed) land. For non-treed vegetated areas without volume, look-up tables containing mean biomass values were produced from published scientific studies about plant biomass production. Empirical models and look-up tables are presented with examples of how they can be used to estimate biomass for specific combinations of classifiers. Together, the models and tables provide a consistent and comprehensible set of tools that can be used to estimate biomass components for stands, vegetated areas, or broader groupings of both, in Canada.--Document.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest biomass is the second-largest renewable energy resource in Canada, representing a major pool in the global carbon budget, but better estimates of forest biomass are needed. In the 1980s, numerous empirical biomass equations were developed for estimating forest biomass. However, many of these were reported inconsistently by different authors in terms of their form and parameter values, even for the same species, which has complicated their application. This study was undertaken to review existing methods of biomass measurement and estimation, and to identify and evaluate the existing biomass equations that might be most suitable for estimating the biomass of major species at a large spatial scale in westcentral Canada. Seventeen commonly used biomass equations and two biomass extrapolation methods were compared at the individual tree and stand scales for major species in west-central Canada. The biomass equations usually provided more consistent estimates for medium-sized trees than for small or large trees. Equations developed for the Prairie provinces and/or for national data sets were more appropriate for estimating the individual tree biomass of six boreal forest species in west-central Canada. There were no significant differences between the mean tree method and the normal distribution approach for extrapolating from individual tree biomass to stand biomass. For shrub understory biomass, there were no significant differences among the species-specific equations. For estimating belowground biomass, equations based on the aboveground biomass are recommended; therefore, accurate estimation of aboveground biomass is a prerequisite for accurately determining belowground biomass.
Download or read book Forest Biomass written by T. Satoo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Rutherford has said that all science is either physics or stamp collecting. On that basis the study of forest biomass must be classified with stamp collecting and other such pleasurable pursuits. Japanese scientists have led the world, not only in collecting basic data, but in their attempts to systematise our knowledge of forest biomass. They have studied factors affecting dry matter production of forest trees in an attempt to approach underlying phYf'ical principles. This edition of Professor Satoo's book has been made possible the help of Dr John F. Hosner and the Virginia Poly technical Institute and State University who invited Dr Satoo to Blacksburg for three months in 1973 at about the time when he was in the final stages of preparing the Japanese version. Since then the explosion of world literature on forest biomass has continued to be fired by increasing shortages of timber supplies in many parts of the world as well as by a need to explore renewable sources of energy. In revising the original text I have attempted to maintain the input of Japanese work - much of which is not widely available outside Japan - and to update both the basic information and, where necessary, the conclusions to keep them in tune with current thinking. Those familiar with the Japanese original will find Chapter 3 largely rewritten on the basis of new work - much of which was initiated while Dr Satoo was in Blacksburg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Drushka analyses the changes in human attitudes towards the forests, detailing the rise of the late nineteenth-century conservation movement and its subsequent decline after World War I, the interplay between industry and government in the development of policy, the adoption of sustained yield policies after World War II, and the recent adoption of sustainable forest management in response to environmental concerns. Drushka argues that, despite the centuries of use, the Canadian forest retains a good deal of its vitality and integrity. Written in accessible language and aimed at a general readership, Canada's Forests will be a must-read for anyone interested in the debate about the current and future uses of this precious natural resource.
