A series of factsheets about 10 different poplars developed by Agriculture and Agrifood Canada at Indian Head, Saskatchewan over the years provides basic information on the origin, characteristics and uses of poplars such as 'Walker', 'Assiniboine' and 'Okanese'. The one-page factsheets include photos. Currently available in English. Versions françaises seront disponible bientôt. |

Trees for Society and the Environment' co-published in February 2014 by commercial scientific publisher CABI and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN is now available online in PDF format.
