Objective: To add stand vertical spatial structure as a parameter into forest structure module of three-dimensional visualization simulation system to make better use of vertical structure as a parameter in thinning. Method: Using the forest structure function module in the forest three-dimensional ...

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...

Forest stands can be considered as dynamic carbon pools throughout their developmental stages. Silvicultural thinning and initial planting densities for reforestation not only manipulate the structure or composition of vegetation, but also disturb forest floor and soils, which, in turn, influences...

Forest management has been widely used to maintain and improve multiple ecosystem services. However, large-scale synthesis of the effects of forest management on understory diversity, especially regarding the effects of thinning, has not been well represented in China. Therefore, we synthesized 146 ...

In order to meet the needs of forestry informatization and the "One Map" of forest resource management normalized up-date, this article is based on the Web AppBuilder framework and uses ArcGIS Enterprise as a platform to build a county-level forest resource management system in Dongtai City,...

Pistacia chinensis is a tree species with colorful leaves and great ornamental value. The molecular mechanism of its anthocyanin biosynthesis has been described from the transcriptional level. However, the type of anthocyanin cannot be obtained from the transcription level, which leads to the...

Moderate drought and vehicular exhaust particles are two common stressors to urban plants. However, it is unclear whether moderate drought affects particle retention by plants and whether stressors, such as moderate drought and exhaust pollution, can interact to affect plant performance. Here, we...

Pistacia chinensis leaves turn red or yellow in autumn due to changes in pigments. We investigated the effect of salicylic acid and sucrose on pigment in P. chinensis leaves. Different concentrations of salicylic acid (0.07 g/L, 0.14 g/L, and 0.21 g/L) and sucrose (6 g/L, 15 g/L, and 30 g/L) were...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of sub-irrigation with different container types and sizes on root morphology and physiological indexes as well as water-use efficiency for containerized Pinus tabuliformis seedlings. A nested experimental design with treatments of two sizes of hard...

The relationship between landscape patterns and soil conservation, as well as the need for nature-based soil erosion control and landscape pattern optimization, have increasingly gained attention in the scientific and political community in the past decade. With the implementation of a series of...
