3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2energy wood Explanation: This appears to be the more correct term: "The harvesting of energy wood from young stands is increasing as the demand for renewable wood fuel is growing. Energy wood consists of stems, tree tops, branches and needles, depending on the size of the trees and the logging method used. The current forest inventory and planning systems used in private forests in Finland do not produce estimates of energy wood components. In stands typical for energy wood harvesting, a large share of energy wood consists of trees smaller than the minimum size for pulpwood." from the link referenced below, and others if you google. If you replace your "energy stems" with "energy wood", I do not know what you will do with "and other small stems", which would now seem gratuitous. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2011-08-03 11:55:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps rephrase thus: "...intended for the simultaneous harvesting of energy wood, including small stems."
