Abstract:
... Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is well adapted across an extensive range of sites, is responsive to silvicultural treatments, and has undergone genetic improvement through traditional tree breeding programs, with selection based primarily on rapid growth and disease resistance. Loblolly pine clones with contrasting crown architecture provide an opportunity to better understand the mechanistic rela ...

Abstract:
... The production of defect-free, high quality stem wood may be promoted through pruning of branches in hardwood species, yet this practice may also lead to wood defects, such as stem discoloration.Here, models to predict stem discoloration and the time of branch occlusion were developed for Acer pseudoplatanus L. (sycamore maple) and Fraxinus excelsior L. (common ash) based on a pruning experiment i ...

Abstract:
... Few measurements for carbon sequestration, ratio of above-ground to below-ground biomass and wood density exist for young trees. Current allometric models are mostly for mature trees, and few consider trees at the sapling stage. Over four years we monitored the growth rates, from seedling to the sapling stage, of 490 trees (five native species) in environmental plantings, in the Wet Tropics of nor ...

Abstract:
... New energy policies in many forest rich countries have promoted the utilization of industrial and logging residues for energy purposes. This practice is, however, questioned from a climate change mitigation point of view, particularly when it comes to the harvest of coarse woody biomass like stem wood and stumps.Stump harvest removes slowly decomposing biomass with its carbon (C) and nutrients.
