Abstract

Most willows plantations in Argentina are located in the Paraná River Delta area. Climate change will increase the frequency of flooding episodes in this region. In order to reduce the negative consequences of climate change on forestry, genotypes combining high productivity with increased tolerance to flooding are needed. In this study, the main morphological and physiological responses of willows to flooding are analyzed, especially those traits that affect growth and productivity. Two kinds of data are discussed and compared: those from controlled experiments with pot-grown plants, and observations of responses of plants growing in the field to natural episodes of flooding. The use of new willows clones developed by the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA) to increase willows productivity under flooding in Argentina is discussed. The fields of knowledge where more research is needed are summarized.
