High-level conclusion: the environmental footprint of poplar-derived cellulosic ethanol production is much more sensitive to poplar yield than it is to poplar biomass quality (sugar content).
Similar what we concluded previously for switchgrass— doi.org/10.1021/acss...

CBI is a interdisciplinary center. We have broad and challenging scientific goals. We strongly believe that the only way to achieve these goals is by engaging multiple viewpoints. This is accomplished...

Biologically diverse long-term common gardens can provide unique insights into plant controls on biogeochemical cycling, even if they weren't originally designed for it. We're now sampling 300+ other genotypes at this site, to try to resolve the controls and mechanisms affecting soil C & N cycling.

We found:
- surface mineral-associated C stock differences under black cottonwood trees of different genotype.
- soil C associated more strongly with root elemental content than root lignin, N, or aboveground biomass.
- surface soil C stocks diverged by genotype at rates of 1–4 Mg/ha/y.
- surface mineral-associated C stock differences under black cottonwood trees of different genotype.
- soil C associated more strongly with root elemental content than root lignin, N, or aboveground biomass.
- surface soil C stocks diverged by genotype at rates of 1–4 Mg/ha/y.
