Research Applications
Hybid poplars and other short-rotation woody crops are increasingly used for biomass and reclamation.
Examples
- Mature Hybrid Poplar Riparian Buffers along Farm Streams Produce High Yields in Response to Soil Fertility Assessed Using Three Methods Fortier et al. 2013 evaluated the ability of soil nutrient stocks, soil nutrient concentrations and PRS® soil nutrient supply rates to predict hybrid poplar yields. A regression model using PRS® soil nutrient supply rates of P, K and Mg accounted for 75% of the variation in hybrid poplar volume yield.
- Clone-Specific Response in Leaf Nitrate Reductase Activity among Unrelated Hybrid Poplars in relation to Soil Nitrate Availability.
- Understory plant diversity and biomass in hybrid poplar riparian buffer strips in pastures.
- Nitrogen forms affect root structure and water uptake in the hybrid poplar.
- Biomass and volume yield after 6 years in multiclonal hybrid poplar riparian buffer strips.
