Abstract

A  landfill of dredged sludge was afforested with two different willow species: Salix viminalis cv. Belgisch rood and Salix triandra cv. Noir de Vilaine. Mats of willow  wickers of those two species were woven and put on the non-consolidated  sludge. Next the stomatal resistance and the transpiration rate of this one  year old stand was measured on five characteristic days during the vegetation  period. Finally these data were extrapolated over the whole growing season to  estimate the total transpiration of this stand. Two different methods to do  this extrapolation were compared.
