Description
Through an innovative study with 45 plots (15 clonal + 30 productive) of poplar, BIOPOPTECH promotes the optimization of the performance in the manufacture of different wood products (LSL, plywood) based on the clone and other variables, and the development of ICTs for the optimization and promotion of the resource.
Objectives
- To know clonal, environmental and dendrometric influences on the technological quality of poplar wood
- Optimize the use of resources through a correct characterization of the raw material in the production-transformation chain
- Integration of ICT results for technological allocation in poplar wood and optimization of resource use
- Promoting poplar plantations and optimising 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) boards in different clones
- Mobile ICT tools for the assignment of technological quality and web visualization tool for owners to plant the optimal clone in each area
- Group certification of sustainable forest management for small-scale poplar grove owners and development of the “Gracias al Chopo” compensation system
