Publisher's Synopsis
Based on soil fertility evaluation of 11-year-old plantations of different poplar clones, it can be concluded and suggested that soil fertility in terms of soil pH, electrical conductivity, bulk density, soil organic carbon, available macronutrients (N, P and K) and micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Mn, B and S) can be improved by integration of L-52, L-49 and PP-5 clones of poplar (Populus deltoides) in silvicultural systems under upland calcareous soil condition, besides meeting an array of farm wood needs for plywood and fuel. This will have a long way effect on soil health for higher and sustained biomass production from silvicultural system
