Sustained interest in producing renewable energy from dedicated woody biomass crops,
such as shrub willow (Salix spp.), through short rotation coppice (SRC) has resulted in a …

Nutritive, but detrimental if at high levels, several nitrogen (N) forms involved in air and soil
biogeochemical reactions constitute the N load trees assimilate. Although a large body of …

The use of willow plantations can be a sustainable approach for treating primary municipal
wastewater, potentially reducing both the environmental and economic burdens associated …

The phytoextraction potential of short-rotation field coppice plantations was investigated on
soil historically contaminated with risk elements (REs), especially Cd, Pb and Zn. The main …

Willow is considered an ideal plant species for environmental applications, including
phytoremediation. Improving planting efficiency and reducing the costs of phytoremediation …

Weed control, which is commonly achieved by herbicides, is important in successfully
establishing short-rotation coppice (SRC) of willow. In this study, we examined agricultural …

Key message Novel interspecific hybrid progeny displayed hybrid vigor for some key
biomass traits under well-watered and water-stressed conditions, but response was …

Metatranscriptomic study of nonmodel organisms requires strategies that retain the highly
resolved genetic information generated from model organisms while allowing for …

Abstract Key Message Shrub willow triploid hybrid cultivars obtained the greatest
aboveground biomass compared to diploid and tetraploid cultivars, and greater biomass …

The commercial establishment of shrub willow (Salix spp.) biomass crops with three-or four-
year harvest cycles raises concerns about nutrient removal (NR). In addition, leaf-on …
