Scientists in forestry and related fields present a replacement for the outdated and out-of-print book on poplars and willows published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1980. Poplars and willows are both members of the Salicaceae family. The topics are poplars and willows of the world with emphasis on silviculturally important species; ecology and physiology; the domestication and conservation of Populus and Salix genetic resources; operational poplar and willow culture; environmental applications; abiotic stresses; diseases; insect and other pests; properties, processing, and utilization; markets, trends, and outlook; and rural livelihoods and sustainable development.
