Impact of short-rotation coppice on water and land resources

Jens Hartwich, Jens Bölscher, Achim Schulte

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

The European Union is focusing on increasing renewable energy sources. One of these sources, known as short-rotation coppice (SRC), involves planting wood, as an energy carrier, on agricultural sites. By presenting a literature research, this paper studies the advantages and disadvantages of SRC in relation to its effects on water and land resources. In terms of renewable energy sources, considering these effects in the current process of social reconstruction is essential for sustainable development. With regard to this, SRC is a key element in the environmental management of land and water.
