Root Biomass Distribution and Soil Physical Properties of Short-Rotation Coppice American Sycamore (<i>Platanus occidentalis</i> L.) Grown at Different Planting Densities

Short rotation woody crops (SRWCs) provide sustainable, renewable biomass energy and offer potential ecosystem services, including increased carbon storage, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and improved soil health. Establishing SRWCs on degraded lands has potential to enhance soil properties throu...
