The database on black poplar (Populus nigra) clones is maintained by the CRA Unità di Ricerca per le Produzioni Legnose Fuori Foresta (Research Unit for Wood Production Outside Forests) (previously Istituto di Sperimentazione per la Pioppicoltura) located in Casale Monferrato, Italy. The database on white poplar (P. alba) clones is maintained by Centro de Investigación Forestal-Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agrarias (CIFOR – INIA) in Marid, Spain.\
