【 摘 要 】

The aim of the investigations was the assessment of the size of harvest of five energetic basket willow clones at a plantation of the Forest Inspectorate Krzeszowice, the Forest Inspectorate Brodla branch, in the Malopolska voivodeship. The paper presents the effect of yielding of the willow Salix viminalis L., which is characterized by intense weight gain. An economic analysis was conducted for the plantation, the environmental effect was calculated and the social outcome was determined. An environmental impact analysis (EIA) showed, that the biomass combustion process emits far fewer pollutants than coal: 8 times less carbon oxide and 6 times less sulfur dioxide. The environmental effect is significant due to the reduction of pollutant emissions. The willow Salix viminalis L. is a plant, which easily adapts to vegetation on any soil. The plant growing does not require any special agrotechnical treatment. By the establishment and maintenance of willow plantations can contribute to rural development, increase income and reduce unemployment in the country. Farmers are willing to assume willow plantations, if you will guarantee the sale at attractive prices. Europe is looking for alternatives to conventional energy sources, combustion of which releases a greenhouse gas - carbon dioxide.
