Biomass production in mixed short rotation coppice with poplar‐hybrids (Populus spp.) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.)
Abstract Short rotation coppice plays an important role for biomass production. Mixing fast‐growing tree species in short rotation coppices may lead to overyielding if the species have complementarity traits. The goal of this study is to analyze biomass yield of eight different poplar hybrids and bl...
