Variation in morphological and wood cell traits in coppice stems of Populus nigra L. and Salix alba L.

Coppice management is an ecologically important silvicultural practice to provide the quicker and higher potential of wood biomass production for industrial demands. Understanding morphological anatomical responses coppiced trees could help determine quantity quality thus better tree plantations short-time production. However, there a little investigation in adaptation different fast-growing species. The present study, therefore, studied how morphology anatomy vary between two coppices Populus nigra L. (black poplar) Salix alba (white willow). Each was grown similar habitat at age. each showed plasticity their stems response environmental factors. Poplar properties due greater vessel diameter, fibre length, width, wall thickness, ray height; however willow had which average stem height ring width. results suggest that growth even 2 years age than poplar coppices.
