Previous studies on Camellia oleifera pollen morphology have indicated dual morphologies, defined as "dimorphism". However, they were limited to morphological studies at the end of final development and did not elucidate the origin, structure, and function of the second pollen morphology (striate...

In the current context of environmental requirements, solid renewable biomass is becoming one of the main viable energy sources that can replace fossil fuels. This paper focuses on evaluating the morphological structure and properties of three fruit trees that are widely grown on the territory of...

Improving prediction accuracy is a prominent modeling issue in relation to forest simulations, and ensemble learning is a new effective method for improving the precision of crown profile model simulations in order to overcome the disadvantages of statistical modeling. Background: Ensemble learning ...

This paper presents results of analyzing the second half of the 20th-early 21st century changes in lateral spatial structure of Larix sibirica Ledeb. population in the upper treeline ecotone located on the Rai-Iz massif (Polar Urals, Russia). The GIS layers characterizing distribution of Siberian...

Forest managers need site productivity estimates for tree species growing in mixed stands. Models developed in the past are generally for pure stands and don't factor in the effects of climate change on site productivity. Therefore, site index (SI) models were developed for black spruce (Picea...

The amount of PM bound by tree canopies depends on leaf traits, but also the leaf area available, both of which are dependent on tree identity. We investigated four species (Acer platanoides L., Tilia cordata Mill., Quercus robur L., Carpinus betulus L.) grown in monocultures and in two and four...

The adoption of agroforestry system aims to combine food production enhancement to compensate population growth with the improvement of agricultural marketable products to increase household income. The diversification of food crop products requires more effective land use. In Gunungkidul,...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of two expert systems in automatic classification of pre-defined yew (Taxus baccata L.) communities in the central and eastern of the Hyrcanian forests. Therefore, initial plant communities were recognized using Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis ...

This study investigated the effects of reforestation by native broadleaf and exotic coniferous species on some soil properties at Rimaleh plantations, Khorramabad County, Iran. The experiment was performed by using a completely randomized design with Arizona cypress (Cupressus arizonica Greene),...

With the increasing availability of fast-growing Eucalyptus plantation logs in Australia in recent years, the timber manufacturing sector has become interested in discovering the opportunities of producing value-added timber products from this resource. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) could be a...
