Allometric Equations for Estimating the Carbon Sequestration in Rubber Plantations

Journal of Tropical Resources and Sustainable Science (JTRSS), 2015
Deforestation occurs due to agriculture and agroforestry. Since it can alter the whole ecosystem and can change regional and global climate, Malaysia is one of the membersof United Nation Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which applies Kyoto protocol to curb this problem.

Allometric equations for Sequoia sempervirens in forests of different ages

Forest Ecology and Management, 2019
Abstract Mature second-growth forests dominated by Sequoia sempervirens occupy only two percent of the species’ current distribution yet represent an important benchmark for restoration management. Here we develop new allometric equations for these forests based on 44 trees 23–84 m tall, which can be used to estimate leaf, bark, cambium, sapwood, and

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Tracing the evolutionary history of the morpho‐anatomy of baculum in primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal morphology reflects both evolutionary history and present‐day adaptation. Male mammal copulatory structures such as the baculum (penile bone) are ideal for studying these processes because of their complexity and high interspecific variability. In primates, however, research has focused mostly on baculum length.

Allometric biomass equations for shrub and small tree species in subtropical China

Silva Fennica, 2015
Species-specific allometric equations for shrubs and small trees are relatively scarce, thus limiting the precise quantification of aboveground biomass (AGB) in both shrubby vegetation and forests.

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.

A model designed for estimating biomass and carbon pool stock in over-mature plantations of teak; Tectona grandis [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations are essential for wood production and reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by storing carbon.

Allometric equations for biomass estimations in Cameroon and pan moist tropical equations including biomass data from Africa [PDF]

, 2010
Moist tropical forests in Africa and elsewhere store large amounts of carbon and need accurate allometric regressions for their estimation. In Africa the absence of species-specific or mixed-species allometric equations has lead to broad use of pan moist

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.
