Poplars are rarely found in dense forests, but rather near riverbanks and around wetlands where, like willows, they are appreciated by beavers. Some species (trembling aspen) can grow in poor sandy soils, recommended for truffle cultivation. Poplar wood is often used for making furniture, paneling, and various interior products, due to its light appearance and ease of work.
