Abstract

Shrub lands are an important source of genetic resources and raw materials for a bioeconomy-based future. The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of mechanical harvesting on the chemical composition and the combustion quality properties of typical shrub formations in the Mediterranean area, whose prevailing species are broom, rockrose and gorse.
