“…The biomass yield of the three poplar sample trees amounted to 19.7 t/ha*a (calculated from 2018, the year of planting, until 2020 [16]), which is in the range of an NPP of 12 to 24 t/ha*a for P. × canadensis as listed by [24], but higher than the biomass yields of 12.9 to 13.6 t/ha*a as reported by [25] from Idaho and California.…”

As Central Asia is a region with wide spread water scarcity as a result of excessive irrigation of agriculture, land use changes deserve research about potential impacts on the already strained water resources. Poplars have a long tradition as agroforestry tree across Central Asia, while paulownia is new to the region, but has been gaining extreme attention as a potential plantation and/or agroforestry tree. Therefore, the water productivity of those two tree species is investigated here on 3-year-old trees, in order to provide insights in how far the newly introduced Paulownia could put additional strain on water resources compared to paulownia. Poplar (P. deltoides × nigra) increased the stem biomass by 5.4 kg at an average water consumption of 4.18 l/d (water productivity 6.79 g/l). Paulownia's (Paulownia tomentosa × fortunei) stem biomass grew by 4.81 kg at 2.36 l/d in average (water productivity 11.9 g/l). Expanding paulownia would not exert more pressure on Central Asia's water resources than an expansion of poplar.

Economic Evaluation of the Production of Perennial Crops for Energy Purposes—A Review

2021

Biomass is widely used for the production of renewable energy, which calls for an economic evaluation of its generation. The aim of the present work was to review the literature concerning the economic evaluation of the production of perennial crop biomass for energy use. Statistical analysis of the bibliographic data was carried out, as well as an assessment of methods and values of economic indicators of the production of perennial crops for bioenergy. Most of the papers selected for the review were published in the years 2015–2019, which was probably stimulated by the growing interest in sustainable development, particularly after 2015, when the United Nations declared 17 sustainable development goals. The earliest articles concerned the economic analysis of plantations of short rotation coppice; the subsequent ones included the analysis of feedstock production in terms of the net present value and policy. The latest references also investigated transport and sustainability issues. The crops most commonly selected for production cost analysis were willow, poplar, and Miscanthus. The cost of production of willow and poplar were similar, 503 EUR ha−1 year−1 and 557 EUR ha−1 year−1, respectively, while the cost of Miscanthus production was significantly higher, 909 EUR ha−1 year−1 on average. By analogy, the distribution of revenue was similar for willow and poplar, at 236 EUR ha−1 year−1 and 181 EUR ha−1 year−1; Miscanthus production reached the value of 404 EUR ha−1 year−1. The economic conditions of perennial crop production differed in terms of geography; four areas were identified: Canada, the USA, southern Europe, and central and northern Europe.

Temporal dynamics of protein and post‐translational modification abundances in Populus leaf across a diurnal period

Populus spp. are dedicated woody biomass feedstocks for advanced biofuels and bioproducts. Proper growth and fitness of poplar as a sustainable feedstock depends on timely perception and response to environmental signals (e.g., light, temperature, water). Poplar leaves, like other C3 photosynthesis plants, have evolved oscillating or circadian rhythms that play important roles in synchronizing biological processes with external cues. To characterize this phenomenon at a molecular level, we employed bottom‐up proteomics using high‐resolution mass spectrometry and de novo‐assisted database searching to identify abundance changes in proteins and post‐translational modifications in poplar leaf tissue sampled across a 12/12‐hour light/dark diurnal period.
