Abstract:
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:
- ecosystem nutrient vulnerability (nutrient balances and soil nutrient release
capability),
- environmental effects of wood-ash recycling on soil, seepage water, mychorriza and trees,
- insect biodiversity, including insect pests in connection with storing marginal wood resources in the
forest,
- 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.
