Description (French)
L'objectif de l'accord est (i) d'évaluer l'impact des taux de croissance des peupliers hybrides sur les stocks de carbone le long d'un profil de sol, (ii) d'identifier les traits racinaires associés à la croissance rapide des clones et (iii) d'identifier les caractéristiques racinaires qui sont liées au stockage et à la stabilisation du carbone dans différents horizons du sol.
Expected Results
Database on productivity, soil properties and root traits of different hybrid poplar genotypes; presentation of the results in at least one report summarizing the main results obtained.
Expected Results (French)
Base de données de productivité, des propriétés de sols et des traits racinaires de différents génotypes de peupliers hybrides; présentation des résultats dans au moins un rapport qui résume les principaux résultats obtenus.
