Description

ANNOTATION: This paper describes how most wood bioenergy crop systems in the United States are still in the early stages of development, with a wide variety of approaches under test in different regions of the country. In the United States, dedicated wood biomass cropland is expected to increase to more than 2 million ha with an average production rate of 18 t/ha. Another 334 million dry t/yr can come from forest residues and wood wastes. This short paper provides a few examples.
