Development and validation of an on-the-fly hybrid QM/MM approach to quantitatively address the influence of solvent molecules on the predicted IR and VCD spectra of chiral solutes in polar and apolar solvents. University of Antwerp
Recovery of humid alluvial forest with European black poplar along the Common Meuse Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Optimisation of poplar for a bio-based economy Ghent University
Fossil resources are deeply embedded into our current economic system. However, the large scale
use of fossil resources is taxing for the environment due to the emission of greenhouse gasses,
which are considered to be causative agents for climate change. Plant cell walls offer an abundant
and renewable resource for energy as well as materials. These cell walls contain sugars in the form
of polymers. These can be ...
Research to variability of physical and calorimetric properties of short rotation coppice of INBO poplar and willow clones. Ghent University
Since 2008 INBO started with the selection and breeding of poplar and willow short rotation coppice purpose, based on the many years of long-term distribution program for tree-forming willows and poplars. A large collection of willow and poplar clones involved in this screening. The selection and distribution program is aimed, in addition to classical breeding criteria such as disease resistance, good rooting ability and rapid growth, soil ...
Impact of poplar bioenergy cultivation on ozone and volatile organic compound emissions (SRF-OZO). University of Antwerp
The interaction between plant-associated bacteria and poplar under cadmium stress: effects of inoculation with PGPB (plant growth promoting bacteria) on the proteoomlevel and biomass production as a function of fytoextraction. Hasselt University
Recommended provenances of indigenous poplar and willow Research Institute for Nature and Forest
For some species, for which focused interest exists from the forestry sector, there are no recommended provenances present on the list. The result is that no approved provenances can be offered by the Flemish nurseries. This is the ...
