Sustainable use of eucalypt biomass grown on short rotation coppice for bioenergy
Humbertode Jesus Eufrade Junior,Raoni Xavier de Melo,Maria Márcia Pereira Sartori,Saulo Philipe Sebastião Guerra,Adriano Wagner Ballarin +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the sustainable use of biomass from very high-density eucalypt plantations, managed at tropical conditions for bioenergy, and found that the higher density planting with the lower dose of fertilization is more indicative of sustainable use.

Harvesting eucalyptus energy plantations in Brazil with a modified New Holland forage harvester.
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted on five eucalyptus plantations, located in different Brazilian States and spanning over a wide range of work conditions in terms of clone, age, planting density and row system (e.g., single or twin rows).

Trees for carbon sequestration or fossil fuel substitution: the issue of cost vs. carbon benefit
Anil Baral,Gauri S. Guha +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the costs and quantity of carbon mitigation by afforestation and fossil fuel substitution based on simple mathematical models of carbon stocks and flows assuming the growth conditions of trees in the southern US.

Robinia pseudoacacia L.: A Lesser Known Tree Species for Biomass Production
Holger Grunewald,Christian Böhm,Ansgar Quinkenstein,Philipp Grundmann,Jörg Eberts,Georg von Wuhlisch +5 more
TL;DR: Economic analysis results show that the rotation period, the duration of the plantation, and the harvesting costs are important parameters for the economic return and cash flow in short-rotation coppice cultivation.
