Data concerning Scanian farmers' willingness to introduce short-rotation plantations on agricultural land - a questionnaire study

To meet climate targets, expanding Populus spp. tree cultivation is proposed as a potential biomass feedstock, especially on agricultural land that does not come into conflict with food production. However, the majority of all biomass potential assessments typically overlook landowner/farmers' perspectives, risking a gap between theoretical potentials and realisation.
The dataset was designed to:
i) Assess farmers' willingness to cultivate hybrid aspen and poplar
ii) Based on (i), estimate the potential for expanding hybrid aspen and poplar tree cultivations over the next decade (2021-2030)
iii) Compare the estimate developed in (ii), with previous studies
