Anthropogenic activities pose a more significant threat to the environment than natural
phenomena by contaminating the environment with heavy metals. Cadmium (Cd), a highly …

This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to
2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact …

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) pose a great threat to ecosystems and long-term exposure
causes adverse effects to wildlife and humans. Cadmium induces a variety of diseases …

To investigate N metabolism of two contrasting Populus species in acclimation to low N
availability, saplings of slow-growing species (Populus popularis, Pp) and a fast-growing …

Nitrogen (N) starvation and excess have distinct effects on N uptake and metabolism in
poplars, but the global transcriptomic changes underlying morphological and physiological …

Since economic profitability is the most important factor for the adoption of short rotation
coppice (SRC) for energy from biomass, our objective was to analyze and summarize …

There is an increasing demand for biofuel to replace fossil fuels. One of the key elements in
this transition is the securing of a large supply of sustainable biomass. In this study, the …

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination has emerged as an alarming environmental issue
worldwide. Chemical reactivity and bioavailability of Cd in soils are highly dependent on soil …

We evaluate, after 8 growing seasons, the effect of climate and soil characteristics on the
biomass and volume yields of eight hybrid poplar plantations established on abandoned …

Nitrogen (N) metabolism in plants is facilitated by a series of enzymes participating in
converting inorganic N into amino acids, however, poplar N Assimilation Genes (PtNAGs) …
