Productivity of Canadian poplar, Carolina poplar

Populus x canadensis Moench

The productivity of the Canadian poplar is determined by the intensity of woody biomass accumulation, measured via biometric growth indicators and volume increment per unit area.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Carolina poplar, where this is mentioned in the description.

For this crop, productivity is assessed through annual measurements of diameter at breast height and tree height, which are used to calculate stem wood volume in m³ per hectare per year. In the context of short-rotation forestry, the evaluation of dry or fresh biomass yield in tons or megagrams per hectare per year is also applied.

Productivity indicators vary significantly depending on clonal characteristics, planting density, and climatic conditions. In production plantations, the annual wood volume increment can range from 13.5 to 36.4 m³/ha·year, reaching peak values of 86.3 m³/ha·year. The genetic specificity of clones determines growth capacity, where the performance of specific cultivars, such as 'Sacrau 79' or 'I-214', demonstrates significant differences in biomass accumulation volumes.
