This book was released on 2005 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woody biomass is a crop that might be profitably produced on marginal lands in Iowa. However, there is little available information regarding the growth and economic feasibility of woody biomass in Iowa. To address this issue, a study was initiated in 1995 to analyze biomass growth of certain species planted on marginal lands. Nine species/hybrids including: the 'Crandon' clone (Populus alba X P. grandidentata), 'Eugenii' clone (Populus euramericana), and silver maple (Acer saccharinum) were established in test plantings on bottomland, steep slopes, and upland agricultural land. Annual growth data were collected for each test planting over a ten-year period. Yield models were developed to predict biomass per hectare for the three named species/hybrids, using two modeling strategies. The first was a site specific model, meaning that separate equations were developed for each tree species on each land type. The second was a site quality specific model, meaning that separate equations were developed for each tree species, using the average height of trees at age eight as a measure of site quality. Crandon had the highest rate of biomass production on all land types. Economic analyses were conducted to compare the feasibility of growing the three tree species on various land types in Iowa, and Crandon had the highest economic return for short rotation biomass production on all land types.

Download or read book Energy From Forest Biomass written by W. Ramsay Smith and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy from Forest Biomass is a book that emerged from the papers presented at the International Union of Forestry Research Organization (IUFRO) XVII World Congress held in Kyoto, Japan. This book includes 18 papers representing different authors from nine countries. The book is divided into four parts. The first part contains discussions of the various researches on fuel plantations around the world, as well as harvesting techniques and associated costs. The second part discusses information on the actual and potential availability of biomass from sources other than fuel plantations. This part also examines the different types of biomass fuels currently used in Japan. The third part deals with the intermediate technology that can be used, such as charcoal production and direct combustion. The last part discusses the innovations in producing energy, such as gasification and liquidification. This book will be useful to graduate and undergraduate students, researchers, scientists, and readers who are interested in the use of biomass for energy purposes.

Download or read book Forest Biomass and Carbon written by Gopal Shukla and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests grow and their biomass increases; they absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in plant tissue. Understanding the biomass of forest vegetation is essential for determining the storage of carbon in the dominant tree component and computing carbon cycling at a regional as well as global level. This book consisting of five chapters will give a comprehensive understanding of biomass production vis-à-vis carbon storage in relation to litter and nutrient dynamics of the forest by analyzing the mode and magnitude of biomass production and carbon storage as a function of various silvicultural factors.

Download or read book Growth and Allocation of Woody Biomass in Forest Trees Based on Environmental Conditions written by Luigi Todaro and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest ecosystems are important because of the key role in reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations by storing a large amount of carbon in biomass and soils. The relative amount of above-ground biomass allocated among different tree tissues is a functional indicator of forests’ health reflecting the material flow, the wood quality and the plant survival strategy. The way in which plants steer their photosynthetic product across their compartments is not fixed but likely vary over time, across growth economies and among species and, lastly, is influenced by plant size and climate, Obtaining a qualitative/quantitative understanding of the influence that these factors have in both growth and biomass allocation is of fundamental importance either in understanding plant ecology and evolution and into developing environmental policies and useful forest management practices to cope with future climate change.
