- Abstract
- Land use competition between food/feed and energy crops could exclude the establishment of SRC on productive agricultural
land. A solution could be the cultivation of multipurpose plantations producing biomass and logs for industry. These are mixed
plantations of high value timber trees and SRC of poplars and willows. The advantages of this cultural model could be that: (i)
the farmers can receive payments for biomass every 2-5 years for 10 or more years when high value timber trees are in the ju -
venile phase; (ii) the high value timber trees can be planted at definitive spacing, so that plantation thinning could be avoided,
reducing production cost; (iii) the SRC, with a rapid canopy closure, have a positive environmental impact reducing soil erosion
and increasing biodiversity (soil fauna, birds and little mammals); (iv) the SRC can protect the high value timber trees
from wind and storm; (v) a modulated light competition of SRC towards the high value timber trees causes the correct growth
of their stem and the formation of a smaller number of thin branches, in comparison to traditional mono-cultural model of plantation
forestry, reducing pruning intensity. This new cultural model has been tested in Northern (Piedmont and Lombardy) and
Central Italy (Umbria) with a research projects coordinated in Italy by CNR-IBAF \"Agro-coop\", funded by Italian Ministry of
Agriculture, Forestry and Food policies in the frame of Woodwisdom-Eranet EUPF7. This paper reports the result obtained during
the first 7 years of growth concerning biomass production of SRC, survival, growth, leaf phenology and form characteristics
of the high value timber trees. The influence of the cultural model on soil moisture and nutrients and solar radiation du -
ring the seventh growing season are also studied with the aim to increasing the system efficiency in promoting the growth of
both components, reducing competitive in (literal)
