Average production of dry biomass (DM∙ha-1∙a-1 per hectare was estimated in regard to the clone, survival, spacing and the number of shoots per stump. alba, as well as multispecies hybrids of willows. Material and Methods: Clonal test of the arborescent willows include the autochthonous White Willow ( Salix alba, interracial hybrids of the autochthonous White Willow and the English ‘cricket’ Willow (S. The main objective of the research should be to find genotypes which, with minimum nutrients, will produce the maximum quantity of biomass. Nowadays, in Croatia, a large number of selected and registered willow clones are available. for Biomass Productionĭirectory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)įull Text Available Background and Purpose: Willows compared with other species are the most suitable for biomass production in short rotations because of their very abundant growth during the first years. These results suggest that weeping willows can take up, transport and assimilate ferricyanide and phytoremediation is an option for cleaning up the environmental sites contaminated with cyanide complexes. The velocity of the removal processes can be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the half-saturation constant (K(M)) and the maximum removal capacity (v(max)) were estimated to be 228.1 mg CN L(-1) and 36.43 mg CN kg(-1) d(-1), respectively, using non-linear regression methods. The majority of the ferricyanide taken up from the growth media was possibly assimilated during transport through plants. Positive responses were observed for the plants exposed to cyanide recovered in plant biomass was constant in all treatments, indicating that transport is a major limiting step for the uptake of ferricyanide by plants. The remediation potential and metabolic responses of plants to ferricyanide were investigated using pre-rooted weeping willows ( Salix babylonica L.) grown hydroponically in growth chambers and treated with potassium ferricyanide. Uptake, accumulation and metabolic response of ferricyanide in weeping willows.

Ten different temperatures were used, ranging from 11â-¦C to 32â-¦C.

Pre-rooted weeping willows ( Salix babylonica L.) were exposed to hydroponic solution spiked with potassium cyanide for 2–3 d. Plants’ uptake and metabolism of cyanide in response to changes in temperature was investigated. Effect of temperature on the uptake and metabolism of cyanide by weeping willows
