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...

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...
