Abstract:Willow is common in riparian zones that are frequently waterlogged. There is interest in fast-growing willow for biomass, and land that is subject to flooding may be suitable for this purpose. Accordingly, we have studied the ability of willow to withstand poorly aerated root environments under controlled conditions. Rooted cuttings of Salix viminalis L. cv. Bowles Hybrid were grown in aerated or deoxygenated nutrient solution. They showed considerably reduced root growth when dissolved oxygen partial pressure… Show more
