Subject:
Pinus halepensis; climate change; drought tolerance; ecophysiology; environmental factors; somatic embryogenesis; somatic embryos; temperature
Abstract:
... Pinus halepensis has been described as a drought-tolerant species with high plasticity to growth in different environments. Its eco-physiological characteristics could facilitate the use of this species in large afforestations in the future scenery of climate change. Somatic embryogenesis is a biotechnological tool with potential for large-scale clonal propagation. In order to establish an improve ...

Subject:
Pieris japonica; animals; asexual reproduction; autocorrelation; browsing; ecosystems; forests; genetic markers; genetic variation; genotype; herbivores; saplings; seed dispersal; seedlings; siblings; Japan
Abstract:
... Pieris japonica is a poisonous tree species that is rarely eaten by herbivorous animals, a fact that could enable the expansion of its distribution range and influence ecosystems into which it encroaches. In a regional-scale study, 300 P. japonica trees from 13 populations were sampled at the University of Tokyo Chichibu Forest, Japan, and were analyzed using 11 microsatellite markers. Genetic dif ...

Subject:
Chamaecyparis obtusa; buried seeds; canopy; mixed forests; plantations; seed dispersal; seedlings; species recruitment; stems; surveys; transmittance; trees; understory; Japan
Abstract:
... Heavy thinning may provide a feasible means to convert single-species coniferous plantations to broadleaved or mixed forests. To assess this possibility, we monitored tree seedling dynamics of other tree species, the understory microenvironment, and seed availability following heavy thinning (50 % by volume) in two hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) plantations in Shikoku, southwestern Japan. Conventio ...

Subject:
acid deposition; acidification; bedrock; forests; pH; relative risk; rivers; soil; soil acidification; surface water; Japan
Abstract:
... Sensitivity maps of atmospheric acid deposition in Japan have not been updated in 20 years. Here, we propose new relative risk maps of surface water acidification in forests based on a weighted overlay of cumulative potential acid deposition (CPAD) simulated for a 25-year period (1981–2005), including the sensitivities of soil and bedrock to acidification. We assumed that relative acidification ri ...
