Abstract:
... Accurate biomass estimations are important for assessing and monitoring forest carbon storage. Bayesian theory has been widely applied to tree biomass models. Recently, a hierarchical Bayesian approach has received increasing attention for improving biomass models. In this study, tree biomass data were obtained by sampling 310 trees from 209 permanent sample plots from larch plantations in six reg ...

Corylus avellana; accelerometers; bark; branches; data collection; direct contact; roots; trees; wind
Abstract:
... Accelerometers are potentially a valuable tool in analysing the movement behaviour of trees and their component parts. Most previous research using similar tools has assessed the stability of tree stems and roots under wind loading, but accelerometers can assess a wider range of component parts of trees, associated defects and growth forms. In this study, the movement of sixteen bifurcations in se ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen transfer between litter components is often presented as a key mechanism responsible for the synergistic effect of litter mixtures on decomposition rates. The litter cover is a heterogeneous environment stemming from the input of chemically distinct materials and the transfer of nutrients in this patchy environment is likely to fulfil the specific needs of microbial communities in each mi ...

Abstract:

There is a comparison of different coagulants: calcium chloride (20, 60, 120 and 180mg/L); sodium alginate (10 and 20mg/L) and tannins of Eucalyptus globulus bark (10 and 20mg/L) in order to make the most of each method. The results show that 20mg/L of tannin achieved a recovery efficiency of 95.35±1.16, sodium alginate 90.49±0.53 and 84.04±2.29 for calcium chloride. Taking into account the econom ...

Abstract:
... Abert's squirrels (Sciurus aberti) are dependent upon ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests in northern Arizona. Abert's squirrels feed primarily on the inner bark of ponderosa pine branches, as well as the tree's seeds and the hypogenous fungi associated with ponderosa pines. Abert's squirrels require interlocking tree canopies for escape cover and for feeding, particularly in winter months wh ...

Abstract:
... San Jose scale (Diaspidiotus perniciosus) is a widespread pest in the Czech Republic and its harmfulness has increased over the last years. The European Union removed this pest from the list of quarantine pests because of its spread to almost all European countries. The scale develops on vegetative organs, blossoms and fruits. It most commonly occurs on the bark of trunks and branches. Due to the ...

Abstract:
... Vessel grouping in angiosperms may improve hydraulic integration and increase the spread of cavitations through redundancy pathways. Although disputed, it is increasingly attracting research interest as a potentially significant hydraulic trait. However, the variation of vessel grouping in a tree is poorly understood. I measured the number of solitary and grouped vessels in the xylem of Betula pla ...

Tree colonization and feeding activity of the invasive wood‐borer Asian longhorn beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), an Asian pest introduced into North America and Europe, was studied in a newly invaded area in Italy. The hypothesis being tested was that the reproductive success of the insect depend on habitat type and tree suitability. Adult beetles were caged on branches of host and nonhost spec ...
