Specific Nmin uptake patterns of two widely applied poplar and willow clones for short rotation coppices - Implications for management practices

We conclude that the poplar cv. Max 1 might be a better choice for biomass production, especially at arable sites with high N contents as well as for protecting from all negative impacts of non-closed N cycles as typical for classical agricultural managed sites (e.g. nitrate leaching or N2O emissions).
