Species boundaries in oaks are often not clear-cut, which is potentially a result of interspecific hybridization with trait introgression and phenotypic plasticity. Quercus rubra L. and Quercus ellipsoidalis E.J. Hill are two interfertile partially sympatric red oak species (section Lobatae) with...

The effects of soil drought on transpiration are often neglected when predicting transpiration for forests in humid regions under the influence of the Asian monsoon. These effects have indeed been neglected for Japanese cypress, Chamaecyparis obtusa, a major plantation species in Japan and the...

The accurate estimation of tree volume and taper is important for the efficient management of forest resources. The main objective of the study was to generate a compatible volume-taper equations system for Gmelina arborea Roxb. Data used in the study correspond to 97 trees at harvest age, between...

The aim of this study was to determine the performance of distance methods in terms of accuracy, precision, bias, consumed time and sampling efficiency in the Maroon riparian forests, Iran. 40 estimators were used to evaluate the density of Populus euphratica Olivier trees in pure and mixed stands. ...

Johnson's SBB is the most commonly used bivariate distribution model in forestry. There are different methods of fitting Johnson's distribution, and their accuracies differ. In this article, the method of conditional maximum likelihood (CML), moments, mode and Knoebel and Burkart (KB) were used to...

Tests were done on seven poplar (Populus nigra Linnaeus) plantations to investigate the effects of planting interval of stands and soil properties on total volume production, commercial volume production and slenderness index. The parameters of stands like diameter at breast height, total height,...

Acacia crassicarpa is a tropical forestry species that is increasingly being planted in South-East Asia. Using next-generation sequencing, we developed 12 nuclear microsatellite markers for A. crassicarpa and optimised them for assay in three multiplex sets. We tested the 12 loci on 34 A....

The welfare level of farmer in rural Sumbawa was steadily low although the potency of natural resources at their vicinity was high. This paper determines the consumption behaviour as well as the welfare level of farmer households in rural Sumbawa, Indonesia. The household size, years of education,...

Medicinal plants have been used to treat a number of diseases since ancient times, and play a key role in human health. In recent decades, modern medicine has made great advances, but plants still contribute to the development of medicines. The use of herbal medicine is often the only therapeutic ...
