Potencialidad de varias especies para la obtención de biomasa con fines energéticos en el secano mediterráneo de Chile

Abstract In Chile, there are about 1.8 million hectares of dryland soils with severe site restrictions for agronomic and forest species growth. However, these soils can be used to establish energy crops, using forest species specially adapted to this condition. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the potential land availability in the drylands of central Chile for establishing short rotation forestry crops, with low water consumption species. The species Acacia saligna, Atriplex nummularia, Robinia pseudoacacia, Eucalyptus rudis, Eucalyptus globulus subspecies biscotata, Eucalyptus camald...
