Table 3 Characteristics of the land management systems
From: Setting priorities for land management to mitigate climate change
Species | System | Main product | Rotation (years) |
|---|---|---|---|
Norway spruce (Picea abies) *SI high = 36, medium = 32, low = 28 | Picea timber forestry | Timber (pre-commercial thinning: 0% sawn wood, 80% pulp, 20% energy; commercial thinning: 30% sawn wood, 50% pulp, 20% energy; final harvest: 80% sawn wood, 16% pulp, 4% energy; 80% of sawn wood and pulp recycled for energy) | 100 |
Picea energy forestry | 100% of extracted wood for energy | 60 | |
Common beech (Fagus sylvatica) *SI high = 36, medium = 32, low = 28 | Fagus timber forestry | Timber (pre-commercial thinning: 0% sawn wood, 50% pulp, 50% energy; commercial thinning: 10% sawn wood, 30% pulp, 60% energy; final harvest: 55% sawn wood, 15% pulp, 30% energy; 80% of sawn wood and pulp recycled for energy) | 150 |
Fagus conservation forestry | None (C removal and storage) | none | |
Wheat (Triticum) | Triticum cropland, food | Food grains, straw remains on site; grain:straw ratio = 1:1 | 1 |
Triticum cropland, food + straw energy | Food grains, straw for energy grain:straw ratio = 1:1 | 1 | |
Triticum set-aside, energy | Whole plant for energy | 1 | |
Poplar (Populus spec.) | Populus set-aside, energy | 100% of extracted wood for energy | 3 × 5 |
Oak (Quercus spec.) | Quercus afforestation of set-aside cropland | Timber (thinnings: 0% sawn wood, 80% pulp, 20% energy; final harvest: 60% sawn wood, 40% pulp, 0% energy; 80% of sawn wood and pulp recycled for energy) | 200 |
