Silvicultural Implications in Shrub Biomass Utilization

Silvicultural Implications in Shrub Biomass Utilization

In many regions of the United States, forest stands contain high levels of competing native and non-native shrubs that pose a significant challenge to regeneration efforts (Royo and Carson, 2005). Typically, site preparation techniques …

Silvicultural Opportunities and Implications of Woody Biomass Harvesting

Five major classes of residue biomass harvesting can adopted, each with its own silvicultural implications.

  1. Harvesting residues can occur either simultaneous to a roundwood harvest (one-pass method) or following logging operations (two-pass method) (Richardson et al., 2002). This type of
