Ten multipurpose tree species, Terminalia arjuna, Azadirechta indica, Prosopis juliflora, Pongamia pinnata, Casuarina equisetifolia, Prosopis alba, Acacia nilotica, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Pithecellobium dulce and Ca...Ten multipurpose tree species, Terminalia arjuna, Azadirechta indica, Prosopis juliflora, Pongamia pinnata, Casuarina equisetifolia, Prosopis alba, Acacia nilotica, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Pithecellobium dulce and Cassia siamea, were raised in a monoculture tree cropping system on the sodic soil of Gangetic alluvium in north India (26° 47° N: 80°46′ E) for 10 years to evaluate the biomass and bio-energy production. The soil was compact, sodic and impervious to water associated with nutrient deficiency or toxicity. Maximum plant height was recorded with E. tereticornis followed by C.equisetifolia and P. juliflora. A. nilotica performed better than the other species in terms of diameter at breast height (DBH) with a basal area of 13.04 m^2·ha^-1, followed by P. juliflora and C. equisetifolia. P. juliflora and A. nilotica produced nearly similar biomass of 56.50 and 50.75 Mg·ha^-1, respectively, at 10 years; whereas, A. indica, P. pinnata, C. siamea and P. alba did not perform well. P. juliflora scored maximum in net biomass production and nutrient demand. Nutrient (N, P, K, Ca, and Mg) concentrations were higher in leaf component of P. juliflora. However, in woody components, there was little variation between the species. N removal for production of one ton of wood was lowest in Acacia nilotica, P in T. arjuna, K in P. dulce and Ca and Mg in P. juliflora. P. juliflora gave the highest energy production of 1267.75 GJ.ha^-1 followed by A. nilotica with 1206 GJ.ha^-1 and the lowest ofA. indica (520.66 GJ.ha^-1).展开更多
厚荚相思Acacia Crassicarpa ex Benth.又名粗果相思,属含羞草科,为常绿乔木。原产于澳大利亚、巴布亚新几内亚和印尼等地。该树种具有速生、干形较直、耐干瘠、抗逆性强,且根系富含根瘤菌,枝叶富含氮、磷、钾等特性。木材可作纤维、纸...厚荚相思Acacia Crassicarpa ex Benth.又名粗果相思,属含羞草科,为常绿乔木。原产于澳大利亚、巴布亚新几内亚和印尼等地。该树种具有速生、干形较直、耐干瘠、抗逆性强,且根系富含根瘤菌,枝叶富含氮、磷、钾等特性。木材可作纤维、纸浆和建筑、造船等用,是一种多功能的速生用材树种。 桉树林地土壤肥力逐年衰退,必须进行改良。展开更多
