Yield and spatial supply of bioenergy poplar and willow short-rotation coppice in the UK
Open accessAbstract
Limited information on likely supply and spatial yield of bioenergy crops exists for the UK. Here, productivities are reported of poplar (Populus spp.) and willow (Salix spp.) grown as short-rotation coppice (SRC), using data from a large 49-site yield trial network. A partial least-squares regression technique was used to upscale actual field trial observations across England and Wales. Spatial productivity was then assessed under different land-use scenarios. Mean modelled yields ranged between 4.9 and 10.7 oven-dry tonnes (odt) ha(-1) yr(-1). Yields were generally higher in willow than in poplar, reflecting the susceptibility of older poplar genotypes to rust and their tendency for single stem dominance. Replacing 10% of arable land, 20% of improved grassland and 100% of set-aside grassland in England and Wales with the three most productive genotypes would yield 13 Modt of biomass annually (supplying 7% of UK electricity production or 48% of UK combined heat and power (CHP) production). Results show existing SRC genotypes have the immediate potential to be an important component of a mixed portfolio of renewables and that, in future, as new and improved genotypes become available, higher yields could extend this potential further.

In Europe, mean modeled yields for poplars ranged between 1.5 and 11.7 odt ha -1 year -1 for Aspen.
“In Europe, the mean modeled yields for poplars ranged between 1.5 and 11.7 odt ha -1 year -1 for Aspen (Aylott et al., 2008; Johansson, 1999; Morhart et al., 2013; Verlinden et al., 2013).”

The Predicted yield section reports computed mean yields of 4.9–10.7 odt ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ for the poplar and willow genotypes studied in the UK, contrary to the claimed 1.5–11.7 range. Its Table 3 lists poplar genotypes Beaupré, Ghoy and Trichobel, not Aspen. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredHarsher conditions are usually required for softwood delignification and strong nucleophiles such as sulfide or sulfite ions are added to aid lignin removal and prevent lignin recondensation.
“Therefore, harsher conditions are usually required and strong nucleophiles such as sulfide (S 2-, in Kraft pulping) or sulfite ([HSO 3 ] -) ions are added to aid lignin removal and prevent lignin recondensation.34”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
