Abstract

Forestry is a dominant industry in the southeastern United States, and there is interest in sustainably growing woody feedstocks for bioenergy in this region. Our project is evaluating the environmental sustainability (water quality, quantity) of growing and managing short-rotation (10-2012 yrs) loblolly pine for bioenergy using watershed-scale experimental and modeling approaches.
