Empirical assessment of gene flow from transgenic poplar plantation

by Meng-zhu Lu, Xing-ling Chen, Jian-jun Hu
"... Genetic engineering provides a promising tool in breeding super poplar clones for poplar plantations with tolerance to insects or drought, and with modified wood property. Transgenic poplars expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxin gene (Bt) were employed in the plantation for pest control in China. ..."

CHAPTER 5 Ecology and silviculture of poplar plantations

by John A. Stanturf, Cees Van Oosten, Daniel A. Netzer, Mark D. Coleman, C. Jeffrey Portwood
"... Poplars are some of the fastest growing trees in North America and foresters have sought to capitalize on this potential since the 1940s. Interest in growing poplars has fluctuated, and objectives have shifted between producing sawlogs, pulpwood, or more densely spaced “woodgrass ” or biofuels. Curr ..."

Soil respiration in apple orchards, poplar plantations and adjacent grasslands in Artvin, Turkey

by Aydin Tufekcioglu , Ali Kemal Ozbayram , Mehmet Kucuk
"... Abstract: In this study, influence of land-use type on soil respiration was investigated in poplar plantation, apple orchard (apple trees with understory grasses) and adjacent grassland sites in Seyitler Area, Artvin, Turkey. , respectively. Mean soil respiration was significantly greater in apple ..."

Biomass Production of Poplar Plantation Ecosystem in Yangtze River Beach Land

by Jianfeng Zhang, Qixiang Sun, Jinxing Zhou, Qihua Shan, Lixun Wu
"... Abstract: Currently, China is home to more than four million hectares of oil plants nationwide, and 154 kinds of energy trees could produce seeds containing more than 40 percent of oil, with total production of the seeds totaling five million tons. Another 57 million hectares of waste land are avail ..."

in the paper. The result indicated that in the poplar forest ecosystem the herbaceous biomass production was 15.554 t/hm2. While biomass production for trees was 43.164 t/hm2, totally in the poplar plantation ecosystem biomass production reached 58.718 t/hm2. As well, poplars growing added incomes for local

Evaluation of Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Poplar Plantations in North of Iran

by Ali Salehi, Maryam Maleki
"... Abstract. Soil physical and chemical properties and some quantitative characteristics of Populus deltoides Marsh (clone 79.51) plantations and relationships between them were evaluated in Guilan plain of north of Iran. Two same aged poplar plantations with low and high qualities were selected. In ea ..."

Nitrogen transformations revealed by isotope dilution in an organically fertilized hybrid poplar plantation

by Arlette Lteif , Joann K Whalen , Robert L Bradley , Claude Camiré
"... Abstract Measuring nitrogen (N) transformations from organic fertilizers can help in selecting applications rates that provide sufficient soluble N to promote tree growth in short-rotation plantations. The objective of this study was to determine how organic fertilizers (papermill biosolids, liquid ..."

, liquid pig slurry) affected microbially-mediated N transformations in soils. Soil samples were collected from a hybrid poplar plantation before fertilization, 1 month after fertilizer application and at the end of the growing season. Net N mineralization and nitrification were evaluated during a 28 d

Comparing soil carbon of short rotation poplar plantations with agricultural crops and woodlots

by Mark D. Coleman, Dsda Forest Sergice, J. G. Isebrands, David N. Tolsted, Virginia R. Tolbert - in North Central United States. Ecol Management 33 (Suppl.1) S299-S308
"... ABSTRACT I We collected soil samples from 27 study sites across North Central UniTed States to compare the soil carbon of short rotation poplar plantations to adjacent agricultural crops and woodlots. Soil organic carbon (SOC) ranged from 20:o more than 160 Mgha across the sampled sites. Lwest SOC i ..."

Harvesting and Transport of Root Biomass from Fast-growing Poplar Plantations

by Raffaele Spinelli, Carla Nati, Natascia Magagnotti
"... Recovery of tree root biomass can be attractive, since the stump-root system represents a substantial portion of the tree mass and its removal may prove instrumental to re-cultiva-tion. Most available studies concern Nordic technologies, particularly suited to mature conifer stands. Unlike spruce, p ..."

, plantation poplar develops a deep taproot, whose extraction requires completely different methods. The aim of the study was to investigate poplar root recovery operations in plantations with time studies, and to determine the productivity and delivery costs of the operations. Seven operation systems
