Life Cycle and Cost Benefit Analyses of Ethanol Production from Slash Pine (pinus Elliottii) Plantations
This paper considers potential cellulosic ethanol production from Southern slash pine (Pinus elliottii) plantations. The net energy balance (NEB), emissions and associated environmental impacts, unit cost of ethanol production, and associated changes to forest land values are calculated and preliminary results are given. The NEB is found to be positive at 2.2, meaning that for every unit of ene...
متن کاملStudy on Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) as a Short Rotation Forestry in the North of Iran
Forests of Iran located on the Southern border of the Caspian Sea cover 1.9 million hectares. The Caspian forests are divided into four separate forestry areas. One of these being Guilan influx area with total area of 565000 hectares. About 30 to 40 percent of Guilan province forests are suitable to short rotation forestry for afforestation. Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) is one of the main exo...

متن کاملConverting Even-Aged Plantations to Uneven-Aged Stand Conditions: A Simulation Analysis of Silvicultural Regimes with Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.)
There has been increasing interest in managing forest stands as uneven-aged structures to promote sustainable harvests as well as maintain ecosystem services. This study provides a framework for simulating conversion of mature even-aged stands to uneven-aged slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) stands using the USDA Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) model. A total of 73 scenarios, representing ...
متن کاملEffect of planting depth on growth of open-rooted Pinus elliottii and Pinus taeda seedlings in the United States
Three studies in the Coastal Plain of Georgia were remeasured 7 or 8 years after planting to determine the effects of planting depth on field performance of open-rooted seedlings [root-collar diameter (RCD) ≥ 5 mm]. Average planting depth (i.e. shoot height before planting minus shoot height above ground after planting) for machine planted P. elliottii was 14 cm while hand-planted P. taeda seed...
