“…The selected clones represented a range of hybrid parentages among the Aegerios and ¹acamahaca sections of the genus Populus. They included "ve frequently planted P. deltoides x P. nigra clones and six other clones that have performed well in the "eld under short rotation culture (Hansen et al, 1994). Isoprene emission rates measured at PAR of 1000 mol m\ s\ and 253C were all high (clonal means ranging from 46 to 91 g(C) g\ h\; Fig.…”

“…Populus euramericana (DN34), probably the most widely planted clone in the North Central region of the US (Hansen et al, 1994), emitted over 84 g(C) g\ h\of isoprene ( '150 g(C) g\ h\ at 303C); and Populus tremuloides (trembling aspen), which occupies over 15 million hectares of forest land in the northern USA, had isoprene emission rates of over 77 g(C) g\ h\. Aspen with its &&high'' isoprene emission rates is also a very sensitive species to ambient levels of tropospheric ozone (Coleman et al, 1995).…”

“…Eleven poplar clones which are widely planted in the North Central region of the USA (Hansen et al, 1994), and whose parentage is given in Table 1, were surveyed to assess genetic variation of isoprene emission rates in Populus. The selected clones represented a range of hybrid parentages among the Aegerios and ¹acamahaca sections of the genus Populus.…”

“…Fifteen of the seventeen sites for the current study were selected from two regional networks of hybrid poplar clone and yield trials established in the north-central United States during 2000 to 2001 (10-year-old plantations) [27,37] and 1988 to 1991 (20-year-old plantations) [38][39][40]. The remaining two sites (15-year-old plantations) were established in 1995 as part of the woody biomass feedstock development program at Iowa State University (Figure 1).…”

Specific gravity is an important consideration for traditional uses of hybrid poplars for pulp and solid wood products, as well as for biofuels and bioenergy production. While specific gravity has been shown to be under strong genetic control and subject to within-tree variability, the role of genotype × environment interactions is poorly understood. Most specific gravity reports are for a limited number of locations, resulting in a lack of information about the interactions between clones and sites over a wide range of climate and soil conditions. The objective of the current study was to characterize the effects of bole position, site, clone, and site × clone interactions for twelve hybrid poplar genotypes grown in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, USA. Observed specific gravities ranged from 0.267 to 0.495 (mean = 0.352 ± 0.001 for 612 samples taken from 204 trees), with bole position and site × clone interactions having significant effects on specific gravity. Further investigation of the site × clone interactions indicated that environmental conditions related to water stress were key predictors of specific gravity. These data are OPEN ACCESSForests 2013, 4 252 important for informing genotypic selection and silvicultural management decisions associated with growing hybrid poplars.

“…Unfortunately, results of clonal trials in North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin suggested that few NE hybrids combine all the characteristics needed in a modern commercial cultivar. In fact, all but one of the hybrids have been rejected h m further trials because of poor growth, disease susceptibility or instability and are no longer recommended for planting in the north-central U.S. (Hansen et al 1994).…”

We present results from a Populus Regional Testing Program that has been conducted in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan over the past six years. Our objectives have been to: 1) identify highly productive, disease resistant intra-and inter-specific clonal selections and 2) understand patterns of genotype x environment interactions within the region that would, logically, govern commercial deployment of new clones. Clones were developed by breeding and selection programs at the University of Illinois, Iowa State University, University of Minnesota, and the USDA Forest Service for experiments established in 1995. We report results of analyses of variance and principal component analyses of tree diameters and estimated above-ground biomass that demonstrate significant genotype main effects and significant genotype x environment interactions. Maximum mean annual above-ground biomass increments have surpassed 16 Mg ha-' y-', exceeding previously reported yields of poplars grown under similar conditions in the north-central U.S. We also discuss the breeding and selection of poplars in general with specific attention to regional research needs.
