Environmental impacts of bioenergy wood production from poplar short-rotation coppice grown at a marginal agricultural site in Germany

For avoiding competition with food production, marginal land is economically and environmentally highly attractive for biomass production with short‐rotation coppices ( SRC s) of fast‐growing tree species such as poplars. Herein, we evaluated the environmental impacts of technological, agronomic, and environmental aspects of bioenergy production from hybrid poplar SRC cultivation on marginal land in southern Germany. For this purpose, different...
