The rapid development of innovative and highly specialized ecotechnologies targeting site-
specific problems and pollutants requires precisely tailored designs. The proper selection of …

The aim of this work was to determine selected Salix clones' capacities for biomass
production and accumulation of heavy metal ions. Determination of the relationship between …

Knowledge of the responses of root systems in horizoned heterogeneous soil is vital to
optimise uptake of water and nutrients to maximise crop productivity. We explored the …

Willow is considered an ideal plant species for environmental applications, including
phytoremediation. Improving planting efficiency and reducing the costs of phytoremediation …

Generally, soil compaction is a stress factor affecting negatively the plant growth, but its
effects vary between species and with the soil compaction range. The objective of this study …

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of skidding operations on the
physical and chemical properties of soil as well as root and height growth of maple …

Short rotation woody crops (SRWCs) are being studied and cultivated because of their
potential for bioenergy production. The harvest operation represents the highest input cost …

Energy, water, land, and natural resources are under great constraints to support increasing
demands from the growing population worldwide. The availability of fossil energy has been …

Soil compaction following traffic by heavy-timber harvesting machinery usually causes an
increase in soil strength, that is a stress factor negatively affecting the growth of newly …

As the land area of short‐rotation coppice (SRC) increases, their soil physical impacts have
to be evaluated. The objective of this study was to detect the effects of long‐term SRC with …
