Abstract

Anthropogenic induced climate change, geopolitical concerns and availability of mainly fossil sources fuelling our current energy system have led to a shift towards renewable and regional energy systems such as solid biomass from agriculture and forestry. A shift from traditional forest management towards more intensive biomass extraction scenarios with shorter rotation periods may implies higher rates of nutrient extractions. Here we present results from a macronutrient assessment in traditionally managed oak dominated stands considered as potential source for solid biofuel extraction.
