The rapid development of bioenergy industries have the potential to create a large demand for woody biomass that may exceed the ability of conventional forestry to sustainably supply them. Marginal and degraded lands that are not suitable for agricultural production could be an ideal source for future feedstocks. One example of marginal and degraded lands is municipal wastewater application fields. These lands offer a source of irrigation and nutrients that are critical for early establishment and rapid growth. This webinar will present the results of two establishment trials from eastern North Carolina. Lessons learned and potential implications will be discussed.
