abstract = "This study presents a comprehensive spatial trade-off analysis of Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) cultivation in Belgium and its impacts on ecosystem services and biodiversity. The results indicate that SRC delivers more ecosystem services and can host more biodiversity compared to the agricultural land use it substitutes. Biomass production from SRC and agricultural production can also be combined when SRC is planted as small landscape elements or in agroforestry systems. In this way the wider range of ecosystem services delivered by SRC are combined with food production. Planting SRC as small landscape elements, or in combination with agroforestry practices, could therefore potentially be a balanced and achievable vision for the future.
