Despite a growing body of research linking bioenergy cultivation to changing patterns of biodiversity, there has been remarkably little interest in how bioenergy plantations affect key ecosystem processes underpinning important ecosystem services. In this study, we compare how the processes of predation by ground arthropods and litter decomposition varied between Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) wi...

Sycamore is a valuable tree not only economically but also ecological and culturally. Even though it has vigorous regeneration system from its stump, coppice management triggered limited formal investigations. Therefore, the present study focused on finding most suitable strategy for achieving ground coverage biomass, as well developing growth yield models sycamore maples. Using series of eight...

In this study the influence of three different tillage systems in combination with eight varying weed treatments applied within the establishment year and its effect on the final above ground leafless biomass production (after the third growing season) of short rotation coppice poplar is presented. The three tillage systems included variants with ploughing and harrowing, variants with cultivati...
