- W1554469382 abstract "The increased use of renewable energy sources, including forest biomass, in energy consumption is a marked characteristic in many countries’ current energy policies. Use of forest biomass for energy is supported as a sustainable form of energy that contributes to social welfare, local development and forest economy. Thus, in Europe there is a sharp increase in demand for wood as a source of renewable energy as well as for production of wood products. Forest inventories show that standing stock as well as annual growth would allow an increased use of the existing forest resource. In conventional stem-only timber harvesting (SOH), where branches and tops are left in the forests, the organic material will decay on the site and nutrients are thus returned to the biogeochemical cycle. In whole-tree harvesting (WTH), branches and tops are removed, although in practice the amount removed is about 60-80% (Helmisaari et al., 2011). As a large part of the nutrients in trees are located in the foliage and branches, removing these will reduce the supply of nutrients and organic matter to the soil. In the longer term, this might increase the risk for future nutrient imbalances and reduced forest production (Egnell & Leijon 1999; Raulund-Rasmussen et al., 2008; Worrell & Hampson, 1997), as well as changes in species composition and biodiversity (Jonsell, 2007). In some countries, such as Finland, stumps may also be harvested, although this will not be considered here. Forests provide a number of environmental services, such as water protection, carbon sequestration and biological diversity, which need to be maintained both during and after harvesting. Removal of forest residues after harvesting could increase the risk for adverse effects on these services. Thus, there is a potential for conflict between such goals as increased use of forest resources for bioenergy and rural employment on the one hand, and protection of ecosystem services together with long-term site sustainability on the other. In order to minimise the potential for conflict, legislation, certification systems and management guidelines have been developed. However, for these to be effective, there has to be a scientific basis, and there is at present insufficient knowledge about which factors determine the contrasting effects found in field experiments on increased biomass removal (see below), or of how variation in these controlling factors affects long-term site sustainability. This review will address the current state of knowledge regarding sustainable removal of branches and tops for bioenergy from boreal forest ecosystems." @default.
