Abstract:
... Recently, some experiments carried out on Short Rotation Coppice have been focused on a new planting method consisting of burying long cuttings horizontally in substitution of conventional short cuttings planted vertically, with the intent of improving field capacity. The goal of this study is to evaluate the performance of a planter prototype set up by the DISAFA at the University of Turin, which ...

Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum; cost benefit analysis; ecosystem services; interest (finance); land use; logging; pastures; planting; profitability; roundwood; seeds; tropical forests; tropics; Brazil
Abstract:
... Conservation of degraded forests is a challenging issue in the tropics, since the maintenance of environmental services and economic demands must be conciliated. Environmental services must be conserved while degraded tropical forests are demanded to be competitive against more financially profitable land uses as crop fields and pastures. The objective of this study was to evaluate productivity an ...

Abstract:
... Projections of future wildfire regimes forecast an increased frequency of large high-severity fires that create very harsh environmental conditions and constitute a challenge to post-fire ecosystem regeneration. Under these new circumstances, better knowledge of the plant interaction mechanisms underlying post-fire seedling establishment success would aid restoration management to achieve the inte ...

Abstract:
... The study of the genotype×environment interaction is a prominent issue, requiring care for recommending improved superior genotypes to certain areas. Experimentally, it is possible to infer that the puzzle of genotype recommendations relies on edaphic and climatic changes over different terrain latitudes and longitudes, and further fluctuates in microenvironments as a result of site variations.

Abstract:
... The use of warm-season turfgrasses is consolidated in the transitional areas of Mediterranean countries and some field trials have provided information on the adaptability of seashore paspalum to Mediterranean environment. Nonetheless, little is known on the performance of the different commercial cultivars of Paspalum vaginatum in this climatic zone. Furthermore, considering the high degree of va ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE : Light plays a minor role in the within-crown acclimation of physiological and morphological parameters in small loblolly pine trees. Whether the plasticity of foliage within the crown is driven by light or height is still not well known, especially for small trees. The present study was conducted in two loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stands growing on two sites, during the third year ...
