DOI: 10.1007/s12155-019-09997-2
Abstract: Short rotation coppice (SRC) plantations are predominantly established as monocultures. Reasons include simplicity and thus efficiency in planting, homogeneous growth, and a desire to maximize yields by selecting top-performing species. However, pests and disease outbreaks… read more here.
