Description
Through an innovative study with 45 poplar plots (15 clonal + 30 productive), BIOPOPTECH promotes the optimization of production performance in the manufacture of different wood products (LSL, plywood) and the development of ICTs for the optimization and promotion of the resource, based on the clone and other variables.
Objectives
- To understand clonal, environmental and dendrometric influences on the technological quality of poplar wood.
- Optimize resource use through proper characterization of raw materials in the production-processing chain
- Integration of ICT results for technological allocation in poplar wood and optimization of resource utilization
- Promoting poplar plantations and optimizing their economic performance by incorporating sustainable forest management certification.
Results
- Determination of potential clones for use in Spain based on the characteristics of the environment
- New clonal optimization system from the mechanical characterization of plywood and LSL (Laminated Strand Lumber) board in different clones
- Mobile ICT tools for assigning technological quality and a web-based visualization tool for owners to plant the optimal clone in each area.
- Group certification of sustainable forest management for small poplar grove owners and development of the "Gracias al Chopo" compensation system
