Abstract
This work showed that the energy input and CO2 emission of vSRC planting is linked to different planter types and, consequently, to the type of planting material used (rods, cuttings and rooting plants). Among the combinations tested, rods planters showed the lowest value for energy consumption (356 MJ haâ1) and CO2 emission (31 kg haâ1) compared to universal planters type (1028 MJ haâ1 and 92 kg haâ1). No difference between tree species was observed in this experiment. Results highlighted that the energy input required by the planting operation is only 1.7% of the total energy input of the vSRC.
