An estimation of production potential of SRF based on soil and climate conditions is possible for a given tree numbers per ha; A mean annual increment of BM at age 7 between 1,5 - 8,7 [t/ha*a] could be obtained if fallow lands are planted with poplar clone Max of 1400 trees/ha; Modelling of biomass production for further tree densities and clones should be done; Visualizations of different models with different scenarios using GIS software should be also implemented; Establishment of SRF plantations on fallow agricultural land can ensure many social and economical benefits to the farmers and also several environmental benefits can be gained at the same time; Wide database is necessary to ensure ecological plausibility and flexibility of models.
