Understanding the long-term variations of stand water balance and carbon stocks under different water inputs is crucial for sustainable forest management under climate change. However, due to the lack of in-situ data, how forest plantations respond to variation in water inputs during stand...

Poplar (Populus spp.) is widely planted around the world and has been closely linked to human beings since ancient times due to its multiple beneficial utilizations both for the environment and society. As one of the fastest-growing tree species in temperate zones, the high growth rate of poplar is ...

Forests interact with the local climate through a variety of biophysical mechanisms. Observational and modelling studies have investigated the effects of forested vs. non-forested areas, but the influence of forest management on surface temperature has received far less attention owing to the...

Crop tree management (CTM) is a widely applicable silviculture technology that is used to improve the performance of individual trees. However, only little information is available about the effects of the CTM regime on the soil microbial community structure. We conducted a study to explore the...

To explore the effects of carbon sources and other main factors on the proliferation of embryogenic callus in Pinus elliottii, and provide technical methods and theoretical basis for further improving proliferation efficiency. The embryogenic callus of the elite clone PEE3-13 was used, the effects...

In China, artificial forests have become key raw material providers for the wood industry, and shouldered the burden of improving ecological system. Silviculture and forest management measures in China have entered an era of mechanization, inevitably need more fossil fuels and synthetic drugs,...

Analysis was made on forest supervision patterns in Anji county, Zhejiang province from 2018 to 2021. The results show that there were totally 2 223 spots, among them, 184 illegal ones, accounting for 8.28%. Analysis was carried out on distribution of illegal spots and causes of these problems....

Previous studies have shown that the mechanical effects of vegetation roots on slope stability can be classified as additional cohesion effects and anchorage effects. The present study investigated the combined mechanical effects (additional cohesion effects and anchorage effects) of vegetation on...

Due to the growing demand for transportation fuels and concerns about the greenhouse gas emissions derived from the use of fossil fuels, the development of alternative fuels from renewable resources, such as lignocellulosic biomass, is of paramount importance. This is compounded by the fact that...

How forest management practice impacts the temperature response of soil carbon decomposition remains unclear in Tibetan boreal forests. Here, an experiment was conducted to compare soil carbon decomposition of two layers (organic and mineral) in three Tibetan forests (natural forest, NF; secondary...
