Abstrakt: Poplars (Populus L. spp.) are versatile, productive trees that are used in environmental systems worldwide to provide a variety of benefits. Though poplars are recognized for their elevated water use, summaries of existing data on poplar water use, its influencing factors, and the methodologies used to measure it, are lacking. We sought to 1) summarize the sap flow methodologies used to quantify poplar water use, 2) review sap flow-derived water use data reported in the literature for Populus hybrids and non-hybrids, and 3) assess the effects of different intrinsic factors (plant variables) and extrinsic factors (environmental variables) on poplar water use. We identified 133 articles containing information on the methodologies used to measure poplar sap flow. Of these, the thermal dissipation method was used in a majority (55%) of the studies. Poplar water use data were reported in 51 of the articles, with studies taking place in 13 countries, and representing the time period of 1992-2018. Hybrids were studied in 18 articles and included 17 genotypes, while non-hybrids were studied in 33 articles, and included eight species. Hybrid poplar water use ranged from 0.7 to 11.3 mm day -1 , with an overall mean of 2.7 ± 0.3 mm day -1 . Non-hybrid water use ranged from 0.2 to 19.5 mm day -1 with an average of 2.8 ± 0.4 mm day -1 . Hybrid poplar water use differed significantly among hybrid types, tree age classes, and water availability classes, and non-hybrid water use was significantly different among species, experimental context, and water availability classes. While we focused on poplar water use measured by sap flow methodologies, this review builds the foundation for a comprehensive summary of available poplar water use information that has been reported in the literature. Our results on the factors influencing poplar water use can be used to aid in the decision-making process when designing poplar-based environmental systems such as remediation, bioenergy, and agroforestry systems.
