Evapotranspirative willow systems (EWS) are zero-discharge wastewater treatment plants that produce woody biomass and have no discharge to surface or groundwater bodies. The influence of on the growth three clones Salix alba (‘V 093’, ‘V 051’ 160’) distribution macronutrients metals in a pilot EWS receiving primary treated municipal was studied under sub-Mediterranean climate. influent wastewat...

Behavioral Responses of Willow Flycatchers, Empidonax traillii, to a Heterogeneous Environment

Salix (willow) is a well-known coppice plant that has been used as source for bioenergy decades. With recent developments in changing from fossil-based to circular bioeconomy, greater interest orientated towards willow potential of biomass transport biofuels. This created increasing breeding strategies produce interesting genotypic and phenotypic traits different varieties. In the present study...

We develop a modified willow tree algorithm for option pricing. Our numerical results show that it approximates the true prices more quickly and precisely than the binomial tree, especially in d-factor models for d = 2, 3, 4, 5. A bound on the theoretical rate of convergence of the modified willow tree algorithm is established.

Willow (Salix spp.) stands are often proposed as vegetation covers for the restoration and stabilization of contaminated and derelict land. Planting willows on dredged sediment disposal sites for biomass production can be an alternative to traditional capping techniques. However, with the introduction of willow stands on dredged sediment disposal sites, the possibility of increased contaminant ...

Willow species have been suggested for use in the remediation of contaminated soils due to their high biomass production, fast growth, and high accumulation of heavy metals. The tolerance and accumulation of metals may vary among willow species and varieties, and the assessment of this variability is vital for selecting willow species/varieties for phytoremediation applications. Here, we examin...

-Many members of the Salicaceae produce phenolic glycosides, and the concentrations of these are known to vary among plants. We determined whether the concentration of two phenolic glycosides, salicortin and 2'-cinnamoyl salicortin, varied among clones of Salix sericea and whether this variation was due to the sex of the plant. We tested 16 clones, seven male and nine female, for variation in g...

Willow (Salix spp.) is currently being researched as a source of biomass energy in Canada. However, it is not certain whether afforestation with willow plantations will enhance or diminish soil C storage and nutrient availability. Trees are known to have pronounced effects on biologically mediated nutrient cycling processes which can increase nutrient availability, but willows are known to be n...
