Nine tomato genotypes ('NACGRAB-1', 'NACGRAB-2', 'NACGRAB-3', 'NACGRAB-4', 'NACGRAB-5', 'NACGRAB-6', 'NACGRAB-7', 'NACGRAB-8'and 'NACGRAB-9') from the National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (NACGRAB), Ibadan, Nigeria; with four commercial varieties ('Petomech', 'Uc 82B', 'Yolince'...

Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica Oliv.) is a woody species that is naturally distributed in the desert areas of some parts of Asia and Africa. Because of its outstanding features, it is a model plant to study environmental stress tolerance. This research was conducted from 2014 to 2016 in order ...

The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated for latex production, but its timber is used in industry and its logging residues can be used for power generation. The reliable estimation of biomass is basis for operational calculations. In this study, allometric biomass equations for fresh and...

Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are byproducts in the palm oil industry. Recently, many studies focused on the application of EFB to pulp fibre and paper. In this study, we used a nanoengineered mechanical treatment, aqueous counter collision (ACC), to investigate the miniaturisation behavior of chemical ...

Teak forest in Java island is commonly planted using a mix agroforestry system at an early stage of development, which later forms a monoculture forest ecosystem. As a consequence, the understory ecosystem is unique and different from other forest systems. This study investigated the role of...

One of the most striking features of the ecosystem concept is that their components, through natural structures and processes, render ecological functions, which are valued by society. The objective of this research was to identify and describe ecosystem services provided by the Natural Reserve...

Fire is one of the main causes of carbon emission from forest stands. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the amount of carbon emission caused by fire in the loblolly pine plantations in the Takhsam region that located in area of Lakan city of Guilan province. For this...

Chainsaw milling and Terrain of log conversion was examined in Southwestern Nigeria. Data for the study were obtained from chainsaw millers who were given felling permits to operate in the region. A total number of 505 logs were processed in all. Data were analysed Using Cross-tabulation and...

In this research, capability of Landsat 8 OLI was studied for estimation of aboveground biomass in pure stands of the common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) in Hyrcanian forests of Iran. In order to obtain in situ aboveground biomass, diameters at breast height (DBH) of all trees greater than 7.5 cm ...

In order to compare the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh) trees that are the most common ones for wood culture in north of Iran, four P. deltoides stands with clone of 69/55 were selected in lowlands of Gilan (Davoodmazar and...
