Productivity and Profitability of Poplars on Fertile and Marginal Sandy Soils under Different Density and Fertilization Treatments

FORESTS, 12(7).

By: S. Ghezehei n , A. Ewald n, D. Hazel n, R. Zalesny * & E. Nichols n 

author keywords: cottonwood leaf beetle (Chrysomela scripta); stand density; fertilizer application; Populus; soil quality; Melampsora rust
TL;DR: The requirement for cost-effectiveness of poplars includes stringent and site-specific weed control which are more important than fertilizer applications and the biggest profitability barriers were the high costs of higher density establishment and weed control. (via Semantic Scholar)

Matching site-suitable poplars to rotation length for optimized productivity

Forest Ecology and Management, 457, 117670.

By: S. Ghezehei n , J. Wright, R. Zalesny *, E. Nichols n  & D. Hazel n

author keywords: Efficient SRWC design; Populus; Rotation length; Rotation-suitable clones; Site-suitability
TL;DR: Clones of TD and DD genotypes were affected by wood infection (Septoria musiva) indicating that selection based on disease resistance should be performed at clonal level, and site-suitable clones should be selected by productivity first, then narrowed by survival and rotation length.

Adaptability of Populus to Physiography and Growing Conditions in the Southeastern USA

Forests, 10(2), 118.

By: S. Ghezehei n , E. Nichols n , C. Maier * & D. Hazel n

author keywords: biomass allocation; land marginality; Populus; physiographic provinces; soil preparation; topography; wood biomass productivity; wood composition and properties
TL;DR: Examining the green wood biomass, biomass allocation, and wood properties of poplars in relation to growing conditions, physiography, and topography found clone-level selection could produce greater biomass gains than selection at the genomic-group level. (via Semantic Scholar)

2019 journal article

Productivity and cost-effectiveness of short-rotation hardwoods on various land types in the southeastern USA

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 22(1), 98–110.

By: S. Ghezehei n , E. Nichols n  & D. Hazel n

author keywords: Ecosystem services; enterprise budget; investment analysis; optimum stand management; site quality rating; SRWC-PEAM
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Biomass; Cost-Benefit Analysis; Ecosystem; Populus
TL;DR: An assessment model was developed and tested for assessing the feasibility of SRWCs on lands targeted for ecosystem-service enhancements based on land conditions, species, and stand and economic variables in the southeastern USA and found poplar stands had the greatest biomass and the highest returns although returns were poor using current reported regional delivered prices.

Tree Water Use, Water Use Efficiency, and Carbon Isotope Discrimination in Relation to Growth Potential in Populus deltoides and Hybrids under Field Conditions

Forests, 10(11), 993.

By: Maier, Burley, Cook, Ghezehei, Hazel & Nichols

Contributors: C. Maier *, J. Burley*, R. Cook n , S. Ghezehei n , D. Hazel n & E. Nichols n 

author keywords: poplar (Populus); hybrid; water-use efficiency; sap flow; productivity; carbon isotope discrimination; stomatal conductance
TL;DR: It is suggested that clone selection and management activities that increase tree biomass production will likely increase tree and stand WUE, and more research is needed to discern the underlying hydraulic mechanisms responsible for the higher WUE exhibited by large trees and distinct clones.

TL;DR: This Conference Report provides a compilation of abstracts from each of the 38 oral and poster presentations delivered during the technical program to enhance future discussions among scientists, academicians, regulators, and the general public relative to sustainable application of SRWC technologies.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, 160, 57–66.

By: S. Ghezehei n , S. Shifflett n, D. Hazel n & E. Nichols n 

author keywords: Abandoned lands; Contaminated lands; Investment analysis; Short-rotation forestry; Sustainable feedstock production
MeSH headings : Agriculture / economics; Biomass; Humans; Pinus taeda / growth & development; Populus / growth & development; Sewage; Southeastern United States; Wood
TL;DR: Rotation length affected economic outcomes although the returns were poor due to high establishment and maintenance costs, low productivities and low current stumpage values, which are expected to quickly change with development of robust global markets. (via Semantic Scholar)

Shoot allometry of Jatropha curcas

SOUTHERN FORESTS-A JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 71(4), 279–286.

By: S. Ghezehei* , J. Annandale * & C. Everson *

author keywords: Above-ground allometry; basal diameter; crown depth; interspecies competition; Jatropha; tree spacing
TL;DR: It could be concluded that above-ground allometry of Jatropha was very reliable and not significantly affected by either below-ground interspecies competition or tree spacing, and the site-specific allometric equations are useful for accurate and non-destructive estimations ofJatropha growth under various growing and (non-pruning) tree management conditions.
