Fig. 8.1 Feeding preferences by free-ranging beavers Castor canadensis) for 3 species of northeastern deciduous trees and shrubs American beech (Fagus grandifolia), quaking aspen Populus tremuloides), striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), witch hobble (Viburnum lantanoides) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). The experiment was run over 10 days. Each morning the number of remaining sticks was counted. Only one of 10 beech sticks was taken after 10 days, while, at the other extreme, no sticks of aspen and striped maple remained after 4 and 5 days, respectively...

The process development unit (PDU) was fed with 2 species of wood chips a softwood (mainly spruce, Picea abies Karst.) and a hardwood (beech, Fagus sylvatica L.). The hardwood was supplied by IVD as reference fuel, that has been tested in other combustion equipment for reference.
