Poplars are rarely found in dense forests, but rather in riparian forests and on the edges of wetlands where, like willows , they are popular with beavers. Some species ( trembling poplar ) can grow on poor sandy soils, which are 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 working.
