Abstract: Species of Salix characterized by particular physiological adaptations and ecological resilience are predisposed to use in conservation and environmental projects in many climate zones and adverse microsite conditions. The economic importance of Salix is currently increasing and emerging in a wide array of practical applications to restore damaged ecosystems. These uses include bioengineering, phytoremediation, biodiversity conservation, and biomass production for both fuel and fiber.
