Selection of fast-growing willow (Salix spp.) clones for short-rotation forestry on mined peatlands in northern Finland.
Possibilities of developing suitable willow ( spp.) clones for short-rotation forestry on mined peatlands in the north-western area of Finland were studied in a field experiment in which 300 willow clones were tested during 1985â87. Most of the tested clones started to grow from cuttings on limed an...
