In Europe, the establishment of short rotation coppice (SRC) systems for biomass production has been expanding in the last decades. Besides, that several studies have considered the impacts of SRC on soil properties, only a few have addressed physical and hydraulic properties. This study reports the assessment of soil...

New publication! Read about social life cycle assessment of bio-based products
At the D4EU project, we establish new value chains, who raise expectations in economic and social benefits. To determine whether these expectations can be fulfilled or whether there are also negative consequences, social aspects should be assessed as early as the R&D phase. Potential social impacts can be assessed...
New publication! Read about bio-based fungicidal additives
There is a great potential of poplar bark from short-rotation coppices as bio-based fungicidal additives! In the newest research of the Dendromass4Europe project, it was found, that the bark of poplar clones contains different potential fungicides. Bark as a by-product of wood plantations is available in high quantity and...
New publication! Read about farmers’ willingness to adopt SRP
Short rotation plantations (SRP) with poplars can contribute to bioeconomy by satisfying the rising demand for lignocellulosic material and thus help realizing the transition from using nonrenewable resources to renewable resources for energy and material production. Moreover, poplar plantations can provide positive environmental impacts such as landscape diversification, phytoremediation,...
