Abstract
The study found significant variability between varieties/clones and harvest cycles. Biomass of the UWM 200 clone of Salix alba in triennial harvest rotation had the best parameters as a potential fuel source; it was found to contain the significantly smallest concentrations of P, K, Na, S (1.48, 5.45, 0.08, 0.35 g kgâ1 DM, respectively) and Fe, Cr, Pb (208.85, 4.91, 0.83 mg kgâ1, respectively). The content of all of the elements under study decreased significantly with an extended harvest cycle, and the differences, when comparing the triennial to the annual cycle, ranged from â9% to â29% for macroelements, from â7% to â48% for microelements and from â11% to â20% for trace elements.
