Society faces the double challenge of increasing biomass production to meet future demands for food, materials and bioenergy, while addressing negative impacts current (and future) land use. In discourse, use change (LUC) has often been considered as negative, referring deforestation expansion plantations. However, strategic establishment suitable perennial systems in agricultural landscapes can mitigate environmental crop production, providing bioeconomy. Here, we explore potential such...
Abstract The ongoing debate about costs and benefits of wood‐pellet based bioenergy production in the southeastern United States ( SE USA ) requires an understanding science context influencing market decisions associated with its sustainability. Production pellets has garnered much attention as US exports have grown from negligible amounts early 2000s to 4.6 million metric tonnes 2015. Currently, 98% these pellet are shipped Europe displace coal power plants. We ask, ‘How is wood affecting...
Abstract As the global population increases and becomes more affluent, biomass demands for food biomaterials will increase. Demand growth is further accelerated by implementation of climate policies strategies to replace fossil resources with biomass. There are, however, concerns about size prospective demand environmental social consequences corresponding resource mobilization, especially concerning impacts from associated land‐use change. Strategically integrating perennials into...
Wood biomass for energy is largely produced in Europe from forest land resulting silvicultural and management practices or agricultural the form of fast growing plantations.

Short-rotation coppice (SRC) is an important source of woody biomass for bioenergy. Despite the research carried out on several aspects SRC production, many uncertainties create barriers to farmers establishing plantations. One key economic sources uncertainty harvesting methods and costs; more specifically, performance contemporary machine reviewed. We collected data from 25 literature references, describing 166 field trials. Three systems predominate: 127 used single pass cut-and-chip...
