Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this literature review is to summarize policies, including legislation, regulations and guidelines, related to the harvest of woody forest biomass in Canada. The focus of the literature review is on policy that applies to Crown land. The report focusses on policy related to biomass harvesting from logged blocks and roadside debris, rather than purpose-grown plantations, since this is seen as the major new forest biomass energy source, and policy relating to the latter has not been developed in Canada.--Document.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whole-tree harvesting (the removal of all above-stump tree components from the logging site, also referred to as intensive harvesting) is an increasingly common practice in the Maritimes, but there is little quantitative information on its effects on long-term site productivity. This study reports on biomass and nutrient content in both above-ground components and forest floors of 25 forest stands in N.B. These stands comprise 8 commercially important tree species growing naturally in different parts of the province. As the effects of tree harvesting on site productivity may be site specific, stands of each species were sampled on different site qualities as estimated in the field. The data reported constitute part of a larger study.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using forest biomass- the leftover byproducts of forestry operations- as an energy source potentially presents a win-win alignment of environmental goals, economic growth, and business success. This research explores the thoughts and actions of businesses involved in the harvest, collection, processing, and transportation of forest biomass to energy production facilities. Drawing on interviews with 21 firms in the industry, this research characterizes the industrial organization, activities, and decision-making of forest biomass harvesting businesses, and examines economic and policy barriers to the viability of the forest biomass-to-energy industry. The state's forest biomass-to-energy industry is organized around contractual relationships between landowners, the processing firms that collect, grind, and transport the biomass, and the energy producers which ultimately consume the biomass. Several types of barriers to entry characterize the forest biomass-to-energy industry, including equipment costs and the learning curve encountered by new processing businesses. In general, businesses' decision-making is driven by profit calculations, although economic models of supply and demand may not fully incorporate businesses' strategic responses to risks and policy incentives. Landowners and processors differ in key aspects of their biomass harvesting activities and strategy: landowners are less tolerant of taking risks, less likely to own biomass harvesting equipment, and less motivated by short-term profits than processing contractors. Policies intended to support the forest biomass-to-energy industry, such as the federal Biomass Crop Assistance Program and the state business and occupation (B&O) tax credit for forest-derived biomass, have not been sufficient to overcome countervailing economic forces limiting forest biomass harvest.

Download or read book Global Change and Forest Soils written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Change and Forest Soils: Cultivating Stewardship of a Finite Natural Resource, Volume 36, provides a state-of-the-science summary and synthesis of global forest soils that identifies concerns, issues and opportunities for soil adaptation and mitigation as external pressures from global changes arise. Where, how and why some soils are resilient to global change while others are at risk is explored, as are upcoming train wrecks and success stories across boreal, temperate, and tropical forests. Each chapter offers multiple sections written by leading soil scientists who comment on wildfires, climate change and forest harvesting effects, while also introducing examples of current global issues. Readers will find this book to be an integrated, up-to-date assessment on global forest soils. - Presents sections on boreal, temperate and tropical soils for a diverse audience - Serves as an important reference source for anyone interested in both a big-picture assessment of global soil issues and an in-depth examination of specific environmental topics - Provides a unique synthesis of forest soils and their collective ability to respond to global change - Offers chapters written by leading soil scientists - Prepares readers to meet the daily challenges of drafting multi-resource environmental science and policy documents

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an alternative renewable source for bioenergy, forest biomass has recently drawn more attention from the U.S. government and the general public. Woody biomass policies have been adopted to encourage the new bioenergy industry. A variety of state policy incentives attempt to create a desirable legal climate and lure new firms, imposing two important questions regarding state government policies and the sustainable use of forest resources. This dissertation sheds some light on these questions. The first paper constructs a woody biomass policy index through scoring each statute and weighting different categories of policies from the vantage point of renewable energy investment. It analyzes the disparity in the strength of state government incentives in the woody biomass utilization. The second paper employs a conditional logit model (CLM) to explore the effects of woody biomass policies on the siting decisions of new bioenergy projects. In addition, significant state attributes influencing the births of new bioenergy firms are identified such as resource availability, business tax climate, delivered pulpwood price, and the average wage rate. The third paper uses the Sub-Regional Timber Supply (SRTS) model to examine the regional aggregate forest biomass feedstock potential in Tennessee and to predict the impacts of additional pulpwood demand on the regional roundwood market through 2030. The fourth paper includes the benefits of thinning and logging residues in a dynamic optimization model to analyze how bioenergy policies will impact forest stock, harvest levels, optimal rotation, and silvicultural effort. The results may have substantial implications regarding woody biomass policies, the creation of a new bioenergy industry, and sustainable forest resource management. A lucrative state woody biomass policy support and tax climate can attract new bioenergy businesses. States endowed with abundant forest resources may choose to provide strong tax incentives to spur the birth of new plants. However, overuse of forest biomass can impact roundwood markets and traditional wood processing industries. How government incentives will affect the sustainability of natural resources can be diverse. These findings offer constructive insights in the enactment and implementation of new woody biomass legislation.
