Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigates the relationships between high biomass production and ecophysiological properties for two Salix species (Salix sachalinensis Fr. Schm and S. pet-susu Kimura). Both Salix species are important as biomass energy plants.
Both Salix species had high photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate. Additionally, both Salix had high nitrogen content in the leaves. High nitrogen content conduct high photosynthetic rate, because nitrogen in leaves are closely related enzyme for photosynthesis.
