At six years of age, poplar plantations in this zone produce from 57.13 to 62.21 t/ha of dry biomass, which corresponds to 1,016.9–1,089.5 GJ of energy. The optimal technological elements for the cultivar ‘Tora’ include a planting scheme of 0.75 × 1.5 × 0.75 m, a planting density of 15 thousand cuttings per hectare, and the application of 200 kg/ha (N70) of ammonium nitrate to the soil before the beginning of each three-year cycle, which ensured a yield of 54.3 t/ha of dry biomass. The maximum productivity of the cultivar ‘Ternopilska’ (49.3 t/ha) was achieved under a similar technology but with a planting density of 12 thousand cuttings per hectare. The biomass of ‘Tora’ contains 966.5 GJ/ha of energy, while that of ‘Ternopilska’ contains 877.5 GJ/ha; the value of this energy is 4.4 times higher than the cost of the energy biomass itself. Willow and poplar plantations within agricultural landscapes make it possible to obtain a substantial amount of energy biomass and have a positive environmental impact by absorbing significant amounts of carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen, retaining moisture, and preventing water and wind soil erosion. Per 1 ha of six-year-old poplar plantations, the formation of wood involves the absorption of 104.5–112.0 t of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the release of 75.4–80.8 t of oxygen. Based on studies of the growth characteristics and productivity of energy and protective willow and poplar plantations, a database of cultivars suitable for cultivation in different regions of Ukraine has been created. A project entitled “Concept for the Cultivation of Energy Biomass of Plants of the Family Salicaceae and Optimization of Agricultural Landscapes from the Perspective of Sustainable Development” has been developed.
