High yielding biomass genotypes of willow (Salix spp.) show differences in below ground biomass allocation
Willows (Salix spp.) grown as short rotation coppice (SRC) are viewed as a sustainable source of biomass with a positive greenhouse gas (GHG) balance due to their potential to fix and accumulate carbon (C) below ground. However, exploiting this potential has been limited by the paucity of data available on below ground biomass allocation and the extent to which it varies between genotypes. Furt...
متن کاملUnmanned aerial vehicles for pre-harvest biomass estimation in willow (Salix spp.) coppice plantations
Bioenergy crops provide a form of renewable energy, contributing to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Short rotation coppice (SRC) bioenergy crops, including willow (Salix spp.) and poplar (Populus spp.) are planted commercially in the UK and more widely across Europe for use in heat and power generation [1] often on set-aside or arable agricultural land. However, available data on yield ...
متن کاملAbove- and below-ground biomass relationships across 1534 forested communities.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Prior work has shown that above- and below-ground dry biomass across individual plants scale in a near isometric manner across phyletically and ecologically diverse species. Allometric theory predicts that a similar isometric scaling relationship should hold true across diverse forest-types, regardless of vegetational composition. METHODS To test this hypothesis, two compe...
متن کاملand transformation of high-biomass yielding perennial grass Arundo donax
In recent years there has been significant interest in harvesting renewable fuels and value-added chemicals from plant feedstocks, especially from perennial grasses such as Arundo donax L. [1, 2, 3]. Some reasons why perennial grasses are desirable as next-generation bioenergy feedstock are: (i) their low soil management requirements and growth on marginal land; (ii) their ability to prevent so...
متن کاملFamily Differences in Aboveground Biomass Allocation in Loblolly Pine
The proportion of tree growth allocated to stemwood is an important economic component of growth efficiency. Differences in growth efficiency between species, or between families within species, may therefore be related to how growth is proportionally allocated between the stem and other aboveground biomass components. This study examines genetically related differences in aboveground biomass a...
