Abstract

Fast-growing tree species will be an important tool in the future production of renewables and in substituting non-renewable fossil energy sources. Sweden, like other countries around the Baltic Sea, has large areas of abandoned farmland usable for biomass production, but knowledge of growth performance of tree species candidates is insufficient. An experiment was initiated where six potentially high-producing tree species were compared. The best available plant material for each species was used on five sites over latitudes 56–64°N in Sweden. Results from the first 8–9 years are reported. Short rotation coppice willow (Salix schwerinii Wolf × S. viminalis L., clone ‘Tora’) had the fastest initial growth and production in southern Sweden. Hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) and poplar (Populus spp., section Tacamahaca), grown as short rotation forest, grew well over all sites and showed the highest productivity at the two northern sites. Hybrid larch (Larix ×eurolepis Henry) displayed a high potential at the two most southerly sites, whilst silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) was a medium-producing species at all sites. Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) started slowly, and Siberian larch (L. sukaczewii Dylis) produced poorly at the two northern sites in the initial stage. All tree species followed existing height development curves for the respective species on a high site quality level. Currently, well-growing clones of Populus spp. indicated that a wider selection of tree species can be used at high latitudes under climate change. The study showed a high growth potential for most species on former agricultural lands. However, measures to reduce climate and biological damage must be included in future efforts.
瑞典沿纬度样带的农业用地上不同树种的早期生长
速生树种将成为未来可再生能源生产和替代不可再生化石能源的重要工具。与波罗的海沿岸的其他国家一样,瑞典有大片可用于生物质生产的废弃农田,但对候选树种的生长性能了解不足。开展了6种潜在高产树种的比较试验。在瑞典56-64°N纬度的5个地点使用了每个物种的最佳可用植物材料。报告前8-9年的结果。在瑞典南部地区,短轮生灌木柳(Salix schwerinii Wolf × S. viminalis L.,无性系‘Tora’)的初期生长和产量最快。杂交白杨(Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.)和杨树(Populus spp., section Tacamahaca)作为短轮作林生长,在所有样地均生长良好,其中北部两个样地的生产力最高。杂交落叶松(Larix ×eurolepis Henry)在两个最南端的样地表现出较高的产量潜力,而白桦(Betula pendula Roth)在所有样地都是中等产量。挪威云杉(Picea abies, L.)喀斯特)起步缓慢,西伯利亚落叶松(L. sukaczewii Dylis)在北部两个遗址的初始阶段产量较差。所有树种在高立地质量水平上遵循各自树种的现有高度发展曲线。目前,生长良好的杨树无性系表明,在气候变化的条件下,高纬度地区可以有更广泛的树种选择。研究表明,在原农业用地上,大多数物种具有较高的生长潜力。然而,减少气候和生物损害的措施必须纳入未来的努力。

期刊介绍: The journal is inclusive of all subjects, geographical zones and study locations, including trees in urban environments, plantations and natural forests. We welcome papers that consider economic, environmental and social factors and, in particular, studies that take an integrated approach to sustainable management. In considering suitability for publication, attention is given to the originality of contributions and their likely impact on policy and practice, as well as their contribution to the development of knowledge. Special Issues - each year one edition of Forestry will be a Special Issue and will focus on one subject in detail; this will usually be by publication of the proceedings of an international meeting.
