Hybrid Poplars in the Pacific Northwest: Culture, Commerce, and Capability Symposium Proceedings, April 7-9, 1999 - Pasco, Washi MISC0272   Author(s): A. Blatner, Jon D. Johnson, and David M. Baumgartner Hybrid poplars have proven to be among the fastest growing trees in the world. Their extraordinary rates of productivity, combined with diminishing traditional sources of fiber, have led to the establishment of tens of thousands of acres of hybrid poplar plantations in the Pacific Northwest over the past decade. During this period, much has been learned about the biology, genetics, breeding, plantations establishment, cultivation, harvesting and utilization of poplars grown under short rotation culture. Hybrid poplars have shown promise for use in riparian buffers, waste water utilization, remediation of contaminated sites as well as potential for carbon credits. This volume of compiled papers from the first Tri-Society Conference of Washington, Oregon, and Inland Empire Societies of American Foresters contains a wealth of information and research about hybrid poplars. It begins with an overview of the global forestry picture, plantation forests, and economic value of the hybrid poplar. Other papers discuss the environmental benefits of hybrid poplars including the potential to help degrade contaminants in water and soil, carbon sequestration offsets of greenhouse gas emissions, suitability for paper products, lumber, plywood, and engineered wood, prevention of wildlife damage, results of herbicide tolerance and insect testing, and clonal development for short rotation fiber farming. This is an exciting time for the hybrid poplar industry. These proceedings are a testament to the hard work and persistence of combined research and practical experience of many people.
