“…The characterization of the plant material should therefore take into account this important trait in a context of the climate change, which is likely to be accompanied by greater water scarcity. However, IWUE also requires an insight into the robustness of the genotype ranking across different environments, as the importance of G Â E interaction for this functional characteristic has also been highlighted (Dillen et al, 2011).…”

“…Overall, S. viminalis was described in 32 studies with gas exchange rates close to the averages for the other pure species, but with slightly higher g s and lower WUE i . For this reason, δ 13 C has often been used as a cheap alternative for identifying species with favorable WUE to decrease the water use of bioenergy systems [79]. It is noteworthy that S. viminalis, in particular, and the whole genus Salix, in general, are distributed in colder and more humid climates, although exceptions such as S. gooddingii have been reported [75].…”

Moreover, the production costs of SRC and perennial grasses have the potential to be decreased to approximately 3 to 4 GJ −1 and 5 to 6 GJ −1 , respectively, as a consequence of economies of scale (an increase in the total cultivation area). In contrast, the production costs for annual straw crops have little potential for cost reductions in the future.Finally, SRC have positive impacts on their surroundings from the socioeconomic prospects and environmental quality. Apart from energy independence and security, growing SRC enhance rural economies, biodiversity, site nutrient capture and retention, soil protection, water and air quality, and carbon sequestration [4,15]. Wood chips from SRC show the best performance as biofuel of all of the raw materials tested, including winter rape, sugarcane, sorghum, soy, and oil palm, with respect to total environmental impact and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [16]. SRC are generally assigned as "environmentally friendly" crops since their management is usually less intensive than that needed for food crops [17]. This low input management is characterized by soil preparation and planting only during or prior to the year of establishment, mechanical weed control during the first one to three seasons (depending on the timing of canopy closure), a reduced number of harvests, and typically zero or low amounts of fertilizers and pesticides [18][19]. For example, low rates of nitrate leaching observed under SRC led to recommendations for their use as suitable crops for nitrate-sensitive areas or for groundwater protection zones around water supply boreholes [17]. In addition, since the fast growths of poplars and willows are linked with high water usage and high nutrient uptake, both enhanced by potentially deep root systems, SRC have been found to be the most suitable vegetation to grow in landfills and other waste disposal areas [20][21] or for the applications of wastewater, sewage sludge, or landfill leachate [22][23]. To conclude, the early successional genera of Populus and Salix are characterized by high productivity, vigorous juvenile growth, easy propagation, good coppice potential, and adaptation to a wide range of environmental conditions, making them ideal candidates for bioenergy production using SRC cultures. Water Use of SRCA recent process-based modeling analysis estimated future (2050) global bioenergy production potential comprising all biomass sources at 130 to 270 EJ yr −1 , equivalent to 15% to 25% of the World's future energy demand [24].

“…Stomatal control of water loss from leaf surfaces provides a primary means of regulating water stress in response to prolonged changes in vapor pressure and soil moisture, and a decreased stomatal conductance under elevated atmospheric CO 2 may also confer higher water-use efficiency (Berry et al 2010). The carbon-isotopic composition of plant tissue (δ 13 C) is thought to correlate with water-use efficiency, which possibly provides a quantitative trait useful in crop-screening and -improvement programs , Dillen et al 2011. Recently, it has been recognized that some tree species exert tight stomatal control over water loss to maintain (more or less) constant leaf water potential, thereby avoiding catastrophic stem hydraulic failure (cavitation) in response to water deficits, which is termed isohydry (Hoffman et al 2011).…”

“…The δ 13 C values ranged from -24.2 parts per thousand (‰) to -28.8‰, which is a very large range within C 3 plants, but δ 13 C was not correlated with the other measures of leaf physiological activity. However, it was marginally (p = .065) correlated with the bioenergy water-use efficiency (table S1), and since it is not difficult to measure, it may have value as a monitoring tool and possibly as a selection criterion for increasing water-use efficiency in bioenergy systems (Dillen et al 2011).…”

It is hoped that lignocellulosic sources will provide energy security, offset carbon dioxide enrichment of the atmosphere, and stimulate the development of new economic sectors. However, little is known about the productivity and sustainability of plant cell-wall energy industries. In this study, we used 16 global circulation models to project the global distribution of relative water availability in the coming decades and summarized the available data on the water-use efficiency of tree-and grass-based bioenergy systems. The data on bioenergy water use were extremely limited. Productivity was strongly correlated with water-use efficiency, with C 4 grasses having a distinct advantage in this regard. Our analysis of agroclimatic drivers of bioenergy productivity suggests that relative water availability will be one of the most important climatic changes to consider in the design of bioenergy systems.
