Deliverables

Documents, reports (15)

Land Agreement over 500 ha per year (period M1-M25)

The land report includes overviews over all agreements signed which secure land for the establishment of fast growing poplar on agricultural land. The report will identify the cooperation partners and the location of the fields, which form part of the respective agreements. The first report will include land agreements signed in the first 24 months of the project (cf. D1.5).

Fact sheet with clone specific assessment results

The deliverable will summarise the results of exsitu pot trials with and the early performance measured in the treering archive of D4E plantation and candidate clones

Integration of LCA in value chain establishment: Update

As an update of D55 this report will document the methodological approach the system boundaries and the assumptions made to derive possible ranges for the interpretation of the LCA

Biodiversity monitoring: Final results

The report will merge the findings with regards to the floristic vegetation and zoological changes that are related with the development of the poplar stands in the SRC habitats Based on repeated plant species recordings in permanent sample plots and on periodical monitoring of birds amphibians and invertebrates the succession of the biocoenoses in selected stands will be outlined The occurrence of invasive species will be reported if such species are detected in the sample plots

Biodiversity monitoring: Methodology and preliminary results

The report will present the methodology and preliminary results with regards to the floristic, vegetation and zoological changes that are related with the development of the poplar stands in the SRC habitats. Based on repeated plant species recordings in permanent sample plots and on periodical monitoring of birds, amphibians and invertebrates, the succession of the biocoenoses in selected stands will be outlined. The occurrence of invasive species will be reported if such species are detected in the sample plots.

Findings from Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

The report will be prepared on an annual basis summarizing the findings and conclusion from all EIA conducted.

Dissemination and communication plan

D6.2 will provide information on planned dissemination activities (publications, conferences, fairs, workshops) and planned communication activities, such as press releases. - Dissemination of demonstrative technologies, including full value chains, in different forms (e.g. flyers, leaflets, promotional items, documents, academic conference presentations) - Dissemination of Business Models developed in the project, to help convince new actors, land owners for SRC plantation establishment

Integration of socio-economic assessment in value chain establishment: Preliminary results

Based on task 52 this report will provide information on the socioeconomic impacts linked to the land use change

Land agreement over 500 ha per year, period M25-M60

The land report includes overviews over all agreements signed which secure land for the establishment of fast growing poplar on agricultural land The report will identify the cooperation partners and the location of the fields which form part of the respective agreements This second land agreement report will include land agreements signed until the end of the project cf D11
