Development of an innovative, non-invasive measurement method for determining the potential yield of hedge banks and short-rotation forestry (SRF) in agriculture
Project description
The small wood produced when agricultural trees are felled is usually shredded into woodchippings and used to generate energy. However, it is often unclear in advance how much woodchip will actually be produced. If it were possible to determine the yield potential of a bend in advance, both the timber harvest and the logistics and maintenance management could be specifically tailored to this.
The aim of the project work was to optimise the management of bents to protect agricultural land. The aim was to develop and validate locally adapted, yield recording-based management systems.
At the end of the project, a method was available for determining the wood mass yield of a bend. A detailed description of the procedure and further information on the project can be found in the following documents.
