Short Rotation Forestry - 'Short Rotation Forestry' is another approach used for biomass production. It involves growth of forest species (e.g. Eucalyptus, Populus, Pinus), which give rapid juvenile growth and can be regrown from harvested stumps.

This type of biomass production is suited to a variety of climates and gives a very high yield.

In recent years micropropagation using tissue culture techniques has proved very useful in propagation of these trees.
