An analysis of cost data already published (deBell, D. S.; Harms, J.C., 1976), included identification of cost factors associated with intensive culture of short-rotation forest crops (Iowa State J. Res. 50, 295), and applicable to broadleaved species such as sycamore, cottonwoods, poplars and alders. Three intensive management alternatives were tested. Crops coppiced on 4- and 10-year cycles at spacings of respectively 4 X 4 and 12 X 12 feet were economic, while 2-year coppice rotations were not. Results are also presented of a sensitivity analysis showing changes required to make an alternative commercially attractive.
