Short and mid-term effects of artificial defoliation on the growth of euramerican poplar (Populus × canadensis clone I-214) in poplar stands in relation to the intensity and seasonal timing of defoliation.

The impact of artificial defoliations on the growth of euramerican poplar (Populus × canadensis clone I-214) was investigated in three field assays.
