Abstract

The paper presents the results which are related to the biomass yield of five poplar clones in the testing phase: P. deltoides cl. B-229, P. deltoides cl. B-81, P. deltoides cl. 182/81, P. deltoides cl. PE 19/66, and Euramerican poplar P. x euramericana cl. Pannonia, in plantations of seven years, with planting space of 6x6 m (278 plants / ha) on two soil types. The energy that could be obtained by biomass combustion, on base of calorific values for the examined tree clones has been estimated. It was found that the maximum weight of biomass (annual), and thus also the energy in SRF plantations, are obtained by the clone PE19/66.
