Can poplar farming in Italy contribute to carbon farming practices? Answers from LIFE C-FARMs

In order to face the lack of existing data on the distribution of poplar plantations (currently available until 2017), an update of the mapping to 2021 has been planned and implemented for the Lombardy Region. The action also involved an analysis of the capacity of poplar plantations to mitigate climate change, both in relation to the soils and the contribution made by Harvested Wood Products (HWP), of which post-harvest processes were also considered.
