The demand for hardwood biomass is rising in the south-central U.S., while the bottomland forests which supply that biomass remain unreliable. One alternative is to develop plantations utilizing species capable of growing on upland sites. Our study examines hybrid sweetgum as an option for a range of site conditions.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to compare the productivity hybrid sweetgum to other woody biomass species.
Upon completion, participants will be able to inform interested parties about the potential of hybrid sweetgum for biomass production.
Upon completion, participants will possess a better understanding of the economic viability of hybrid sweetgum plantations.
