“…Recently, willows have been shown to be good candidates for remediating metal-contaminated sites because of their rapid growth, large biomass, deep roots, and high accumulation capacity for heavy metals (Kuzovkina and Quigley, 2005;Kuzovkina and Volk, 2009). In the last decade, short-rotation willow coppices have provided an economic and practical solution for remediation as well as for bioenergy production (Rockwood et al, 2004;Mirck et al, 2005).…”

Willows (Salix spp.) have shown high potential for the phytoextraction of heavy metals. This study compares variations in copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) tolerance and accumulation potential among 12 willow clones grown in a nutrient solution treated with 50 μmol/L of Cu or Zn, respectively. The results showed differences in the tolerance and accumulation of Cu and Zn with respect to different species/clones. The biomass variation among clones in response to Cu or Zn exposure ranged from the stimulation of growth to inhibition, and all of the clones tested showed higher tolerance to Cu than to Zn. The clones exhibited less variation in Cu accumulation but larger variation in Zn accumulation. Based on translocation factors, it was found that most of the Cu was retained in the roots and that Zn was more mobile than Cu for all clones. It is concluded that most willow clones are good accumulators of Zn and Cu.

“…and safeda (Eucalyptus spp.) are the most common tree species used for phytoremediation because they grow rapidly, have deep roots and take up large quantities of water (Isebrands and Karnosky 2001;Kopp et al 2001;Licht and Isebrands 2005;Mirck et al 2005;Rockwood et al 2004). Biowaste/organic solid waste can be used as organic manure in agriculture.…”

Present study evaluated growth of Populus deltoides G48 and Toona ciliata over a period of 6 months, in nursery soil amended with 10% fly ash (v/v), 5% distillery waste (v/v), 20% farmyard manure (v/v) and microbial consortium of Pseudomonas striata and Azotobacter sp. @ 30 ml/pot in different combinations leading to 12 different treatments with 16 replicates in completely randomized block design. Biometric parameters such as plant height, collar diameter and total dry biomass were analyzed which indicated that the treatment (T8) comprising of fly ash @ 10% (v/v), farmyard manure @ 20% (v/v) and microbial consortium @ 30 ml/pot promoted growth of P. deltoides. The results indicated that combined addition of fly ash, farm yard manure and microbial inoculants can be used as a good potting mixture for improving survival rates and plant growth in forestry nurseries.

“…Igualmente actúan como eficaces cortavientos y sirven de refugio a la fauna, habiéndose puesto de manifiesto una elevada riqueza en cuanto a diversidad de especies que son capaces de albergar (Mirck et al, 2004) así como de mejorar la diversidad paisajística en las áre-as donde se introducen (Twedt et al,1999). En este sentido Christian et al (1994) consideran que la biodiversidad presente en estas plantaciones es sensiblemente superior a la de los cultivos que sustituyen.…”

IntroducciónEl Plan de Fomento de las Energías Renovables (PFER) en España (2005España ( -2010 (IDAE, 2004) señala la excesiva dependencia exterior en materia energéti-ca (80%), siendo necesario, tanto por motivos de estrategia económica como social y medioambiental, procurar que se produzcan incrementos significativos de las fuentes de energía renovable, entre ellas la biomasa, al mismo tiempo que se incida en la mejora de la ef iciencia energética. Sin embargo, la revisión del PFER para el periodo -2004 (IDAE, 2004 indicó un desarrollo muy inferior al deseable en el área de la biomasa para poder cumplir con los objetivos fijados.Los nuevos retos comunitarios, más ambiciosos en cuanto a utilización de energías renovables para 2020, requieren, por otra parte, incrementar el uso de biomasa para la producción de calor, electricidad y biocombustibles.El ámbito de la biomasa se encuentra condicionado, en general, por una fuerte heterogeneidad, tanto por el tipo de materia prima a emplear como por los posibles usos energéticos derivados, así como por su interferencia con los mercados agrícola y forestal. Tradicionalmente su uso ha sido térmico, habiéndose dePlantaciones del género Populus para la producción de biomasa con fines energéticos: revisión ResumenLa necesidad de incrementar la producción de energía de origen renovable en España, pasa por considerar la producción de biomasa como una de las posibles alternativas. Entre los diferentes tipos de biomasa posible, aquella que se obtiene a través de cultivos diseñados específicamente para ello, los cultivos energéticos, permite la planificación en la obtención del recurso al mismo tiempo que proporcionan alternativas al abandono de cultivos tradicionales en el ámbito rural. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo revisar el estado actual de conocimiento de uno de los cultivos leñosos con mayores expectativas para la producción de energía, las plantaciones de Populus spp. cultivado en alta densidad y turnos cortos, en su contribución a la producción de biomasa para energía, incidiendo en la importancia del material base a emplear, el diseño del cultivo y los tratamientos culturales a realizar.Palabras clave: biomasa, cultivos energéticos, chopo, SRF. AbstractPopulus genus for the biomass production for energy use: a reviewMuch attention is currently focused on biomass production as one possible alternative energy source because of the need to increase the amount of energy produced in Spain from renewable energy sources. Amongst the different types of biomass available, those crops which are specifically designed for the purpose, the so-called «energy crops», allow us not only to plan the production of this resource but also to provide a viable alternative for agricultural land in areas where traditional crops are gradually being abandoned. The objective of this study is to revise the current knowledge base in relation to Populus spp.; a woody crop with great potential for this purpose which can be grown at high densities in short rotation coppices. Its suitabilit...
