Panel discussion on the relative merits of woodgrass and SRIC (short-rotation intensive culture)
A debate on the relative merits of woodgrass versus short-rotation intensive culture (SRIC) as alternative biomass-energy-feedstock production systems was organized via two vehicles: (1) a panel discussion that was held immediately following the presentation of papers in the woodgrass and SRIC sessions of the IGT conference and (2) a questionnaire prepared after the meetings to obtain informed, written opinions from the panelists on the relative merits of woodgrass and SRIC. Highlights of the panel discussion are briefly summarized. The major portion of this document consists of four questions prepared by the author and the responses by the coauthors of this paper. The summary presents the first author's opinion after consideration of all responses. 3 refs.
