Paper: “The Value of Hybrid Aspen Coppice Investment: A Case Study of Estonia”

Our partners from the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the University of Tartu have published, as part of the ONEforest project, the open-access scientific publication “The Value of Hybrid Aspen Coppice Investment under Different Discount Rate, Price and Management Scenarios: A Case Study of Estonia”.

Hybrid aspen is one of the most promising tree species for short-rotation forestry in Northern Europe. After the clearcutting of hybrid aspen plantation, the next generation arises from root and stump sprouts. The economic feasibility of different management strategies of hybrid aspen coppice stands has not yet been comprehensively evaluated in Northern Europe.

European Commission proposes new strategy to protect and restore forests

On 16^th July, the European Commission adopted the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030, an emblematic initiative of the European Green Deal that builds on the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.

The strategy contributes to the package of measures proposed to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions of at least 55% by 2030 and climate neutrality in 2050 in the EU. It also helps the EU deliver on its commitment to enhancing carbon removals by natural sinks as per the Climate Law. By addressing the social, economic and environmental aspects altogether, the Forest Strategy aims at ensuring the multifunctionality of EU forests and highlights the pivotal role played by foresters.
