Abstract:

For maximum biomass production of fast­growing tree species used as raw material of pellet or bioethanol, it is important to select optimal rotation time. We planted twelve clones of Populus and Salix spp. In fallow land with three different ration times and compared biomass production. Harvested biomass varied with clones as well as rotation time. Survival rates were decreased in all clones by years and the annual rotation clones showed drastic mortality after the first­year harvest. Most clones showing high survival rates initially in annual ration plot produced more biomass production from second year. Biannual and three­year rotation clones also showed decreases in survival rates, but the degree was smaller than that of annual biomass production, however, it was varied by species and clones.
