Spatial assessment of the economic feasibility of short rotation coppice on radioactively contaminated land in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. II. Monte Carlo analysis

Article Abstract:

The effect of within-gridcell spatial variability on the spatial assessment of the economic feasibility of short rotation coppice (SRC) production and energy conversion in areas contaminated by Chernobyl accident was evaluated by using Monte Carlo analysis. The results show that when the additional variability that is not contained in the input maps is considered, the SRC production and energy conversion appears to be profitable at more locations than when this variability is not considered.

Spatial assessment of the economic feasibility of short rotation coppice on radioactively contaminated land in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia.

Article Abstract:

The economic feasibility of short rotation coppice (SRC) production and energy conversion in areas contaminated by Chernobyl-derived (super 137)Cs was evaluated taking the spatial variability of environmental conditions into account. Two sequential GIS-embedded submodels were applied for four SRC production and four energy conversion scenarios for the entire contaminated area of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.

Long-term influence of intensively cultured short-rotation willow coppice on nitrogen concentrations in groundwater

Article Abstract:

The impact of intensively cultured short-rotation willow coppice on groundwater nitrogen concentrations can be moderate, and such management practices should not be seen as a major threat to groundwater quality.
