“…Interestingly, our simulation study revealed an important range of LAI for comparable levels of assimilation, which opens the path for defining new ideotypes by integrating further functional processes already developed in oil palm, such as carbon partitioning and retroactions between functioning and growth (Pallas et al, 2013a, b). Indeed, studies exploring several functioning processes have highlighted the importance of biomass partitioning in yield variability (Lecoeur et al, 2011;Cerasuolo et al, 2016;Koester et al, 2014).…”

A rapid set-up of leaf area is critical at young age to optimize light interception and subsequently carbon acquisition. At the adult stage, optimization of carbon assimilation could be achieved through specific combinations of architectural traits. The proposition of multiple morphotypes with comparable level of carbon assimilation opens the way to further investigate ideotypes carrying an optimal trade-off between carbon assimilation, plant transpiration and biomass partitioning.

“…If establishment of willow stimulated soil organic matter turnover, and mineralized N was taken up and stored in litter and belowground biomass, the surplus scenario seems plausible. However, the question remains whether or not the harvesting of stems stimulates a reduction in belowground biomass (Berhongaray et al ., ; Cerasuolo et al ., ), which could result in N losses after harvest (Dimitriou et al ., ).

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 substantial amount of published research on SRC over the past few decades. One area of constant focus has been the nutritional requirements for optimal growth and yield. Inconsistency in the results of individual research trials has likely been a driver of repeated experimentation. This review is intended to provide a quantitative examination of the effect of fertilization treatments on willow biomass yield in field conditions. Data from the literature were collected and summarized to test for significant sources of variation in willow biomass nitrogen (N) pools of common SRC genotypes used in North American and European research programs. A meta-analysis was conducted on studies comparing synthetic or organic sources of N willow fertilization to an unfertilized control treatment to test for yield response. Overall, the majority of responses to fertilization were positive, although variation by species, N source material, and crop age were found. While no clear pattern in N dosage response was observed, the level of yield response was correlated with geographic and climatic variables. Nitrogen export levels were fairly predictable, and the synthesis presented here can be used to refine current guidelines. Environmental and economic aspects are also considered.
