While what you're saying is generally true about trees, they're creating poplars for the paper industry. They will grow in big monocultures and get mowed down after just a decade. That's pretty much worthless as an ecosystem.
They're grown in a similar way for biomass for the energy sector. Poplars are probably the easiest way to build up a lot of biomass.
That’s why they’re so poplar.
