Eastern cottonwood and black willow biomass crop production in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley under four planting densities

Informally Refereed

Abstract

"Wood is an obvious alternative energy source": Johnson and others (2007) declare the potential of short-rotation intensively-managed woody crop systems to produce biomass for energy. While obvious as an energy source, costs of production need to be measured to assess the economic viability of selected tree species as woody perennial energy crops
