| Abstract | Aboveground biomass yields of short rotation cultures (SRC) of willow can vary substantially depending on site quality. Among others, aboveground biomass yields depend on climatic conditions, soil properties, age of the SRC, and number of harvesting cycles. In this study, we investigated the effects of coppicing on growth variables (i.e., largest basal stem, height, and aboveground biomass) at ten SRC of Salix miyabeana SX67 established on various soils in southern Quebec. More than 1100 shrubs with stool ages varying between 1 and 15 years were measured. Strain analysis was carried out to calculate past annual aboveground productivities, and maximum annual yield potential was quantified at each site. Annual growth rates were highly variable and depended on site and coppicing history. To achieve optimal stool development and aboveground yields, two to three growing seasons following coppicing were necessary for sandy and clayey sites, respectively. The delays for reaching maximum yields were shortened when soil cation exchange capacity was dramatically low and were prolonged when soil was physically restricting stool development. This lag influenced the total yield of the first rotation and also modulated the magnitude of the increase of aboveground biomass that is generally observed in the second rotation. To increase yields in southern Quebec, our results suggest that it is preferable to extend the length of the first rotation instead of coppicing at the end of the first growing season after establishment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
