Abstract

The genus Populus (family Salicaceae) includes about 30 species widely distributed from the temperate zone to cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The best-known feature of poplar in its areas of occurrence is its strong association with high temperatures, which it tolerates remarkably well; it also tolerates a high degree of salinity. Some of the species such as aspens form extensive forest stands, while others usually grow along stream edges and/or low- lying areas.
