Wood for energy- a contribution to the development of sustainable forest management.

Objective

WOOD-EN-MAN focuses on sustainable use of wood-based biomass resources for energy aiming at further development of sustainable forest management in Europe, including socio-economic aspects. End-user products will be based on integrated ecological, biological and socio-economic research. Central topics are
1) ecosystem nutrient vulnerability (nutrient balances and soil nutrient release capability),
2) environmental effects of wood-ash recycling on soil, seepage water, mychorriza and trees,
3) insect biodiversity, including insect pests in connection with storing marginal wood resources in the forest,
4) socio- economic and economic effects at management and policy levels, including monetary value of identified environmental effects, market and policy failures, competitiveness of wood-based biomass compared to other energy systems, and how to affect competitiveness by public fiscal measures. Operational management guidelines (a book) and policy recommendations at national, EU and Pan-European levels (a report) will be published and disseminated together with other end-user products, e.g. PC-tool, database, web-page, seminars and workshops.
