Abstract:
... Selective operation of potted seedlings on transplanter is the fundamental way to improve the survive rate after the transplanting operation. However, due to the problems of high transplanting speed and complicated working condition of the transplanter, higher requirements for information detection, mechanism control and their coordination are needed. In this paper, the Fuzzy C-means (FCM) method ...

Abstract:
... In recent decades, vegetation has faced the dual challenges posed by climate change and human activities. Quantitatively distinguishing the influences of climate change and human activities on vegetation changes is key to developing adaptive ecological protection policies. This study examined changes in temperature and precipitation to determine if anthropogenic land use changes have affected vege ...

Abstract:
... We report on a 60-year-old red pine (Pinus resinosa Aiton) spacing trial experiment located in Ontario, Canada, that included the combinations between six initial spacings (from 1.2 to 3.0 m) and the presence or absence of a commercial thinning (CT) regime, as well as their impacts on quadratic mean diameter (QMD) and stand volume yield. The CT regime, initiated at age 30, targeted a residual basa ...

Abstract:
... Language focused on individual dietary behaviors, or alternatively, lifestyle choices or decisions, suggests that what people eat and drink is primarily a choice that comes down to free will. Referring to and intervening upon food consumption as though it were a freely chosen behavior has an inherently logical appeal due to its simplicity and easily defined targets of intervention. However, despit ...

Abstract:
... White rot fungi (WRF) are planted on the cathode of a ceramic microbial fuel cell (C-MFC) to enhance its removal of copper from wastewater. When P. eryngii was planted in the air cathode of a fungal electrode assembly MFC (FEA-MFC), the observed maximum power density was of 41.3 mW/m², which was 3.52 times that without planted WRF. WRF used the obtained Cu²⁺ to increase laccase activity by 1.68-fo ...

Abstract:
... Social, biophysical, and institutional contexts affect forest users’ incentives to work together to restore forests. With renewed government commitments to support such activities, we argue that effective interventions need to consider several context-specific factors – such as the user groups’ future discount rates, opportunity costs, and collective-action capabilities – because these factors wil ...

Forest transitions occur through several pathways, including forest scarcity and economic development, each with different drivers and environmental outcomes. The relative roles of planted forests and natural regene ...

... Seed potato production in systems that provide higher amounts of planted material improves the potato production chain. Planting in a pot or hydroponic system with adequate plant nutrition may increase the seed potato yield. Among the nutrients, magnesium (Mg) has a role in a range of metabolic processes and biochemical reactions in plants, such as chlorophyll formation. Thus, the adequate supply ...

... Figs have been regarded as keystone plant resources that support diverse tropical vertebrate frugivore communities. Planting or conserving large fig trees, such as stranglers, have therefore been proposed for enhancing urban biodiversity. We compared the diversity and community structure of bird assemblages on strangler figs with non‐fig urban trees as well as between the fruiting and non‐fruiting ...
