Firewood crops. Shrub and tree species for energy production
The report of an ad hoc panel of the Advisory Committee on Technology Innovation Board on Science and Technology for International Development Commission on International Relations. After an introduction by Eckholm, E., the first chapter, Wood as fuel, discusses firewood plantations, fuelwood management and species, wood-burning stoves, and the use of charcoal. The remaining 3 chapters each describe in alphabetical order: fuelwood species for humid tropics, tropical highlands, and for arid and semiarid regions. For each species there is a general description and data on distribution, use as firewood, yield, other uses, environmental requirements, establishment, pests and diseases, and limitations, with at least one black and white plate. There are 10 appendices: Using fuelwood efficiently; Case study; Ethiopia; Cast study: South Korea (Eckholm, E.); Master list of firewood species; Selected readings (general, and by species); Research contacts (by species); Explanation of terms; Biographical sketches of panel members; Contributors (to the report); and Index of plants.
