Abstract:
... Fertilization is required to maintain production of short rotation forestry plantations and an understanding of nutrient cycling processes is crucial in order to assess long-term sustainability of these systems. Fertilization can alter root biomass growth and turnover and the chemical and biochemical properties of the soil thus affecting soil carbon dynamics and soil quality. The present study was ...

Subject:
Dendrocopos minor; Poecile palustris; Populus; Robinia pseudoacacia; Sitta europaea; birds; breeding season; habitats; indigenous species; introduced plants; land use change; landscapes; models; plantations; riparian forests; trees; wildlife; woodlands; Italy
Abstract:
... In Europe land use change has produced loss and fragmentation of the original forest habitat. On the other hand, the area covered by tree plantations and altered stands dominated by exotic tree species is increasing. Forest specialist birds are considered to be among the best candidates to assess the consequences of this transformation on wildlife. Here we investigate the link between the abundanc ...

Dendrocopos major; Dendrocopos minor; Populus; administrative management; biodiversity; cameras; dead wood; forests; income; intensive forestry; landscapes; microhabitats; woodpeckers; Italy
Abstract:
... A growing portion of woodlands worldwide is allocated to tree plantations. These are intensively managed and support significantly lower biodiversity than natural forests. However, given their rising extension and importance, understanding how to enhance the role of plantations in aiding biodiversity is crucial. In the present study, we assessed the suitability of traditional poplar plantations fo ...

Forest ecology and management 2022 v.514 pp. 120211
ISSN:

Subject:
Populus; administrative management; biomass; calcium carbonate; exchangeable calcium; fertilizers; forest ecology; models; nutrient availability; nutrition; pH; trees; Italy
Abstract:
... The cultivation of Populus spp. on acid soils is difficult mainly due to low nutrient availability, limiting the distribution and use of this marketable tree species. In this paper we report the results of two experiments, in which a granulated highly reactive micronized calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) was tested at increasing levels to improve the effect of NPKS fertilization on poplar growth. Twin fie ...
