Carbon sequestration by fruit trees--Chinese apple orchards as an example.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Apple production systems are an important component in the Chinese agricultural sector with 1.99 million ha plantation. The orchards in China could play an important role in the carbon (C) cycle of terrestrial ecosystems and contribute to C sequestration.

Assessing non-point source pollution in an apple-dominant basin and associated best fertilizer management based on SWAT modeling

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2023
Investigating the impact of apple-dominated areas on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses at a basin scale was essential for the sustainable development of apple industry in China.

Characterization of Apples and Apple Cider Produced by a Guelph Area Orchard [PDF]

LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2002
Thermal stability of food-borne pathogens in apple cider is influenced by the composition of the product. As a preliminary step to determine the effect of pasteurization of apple cider on the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7, a study was carried out to characterize apples and unpasteurized apple cider produced by a Guelph area orchard.

Simulation of Long-term Yield and Soil Water Consumption in Apple Orchards on the Loess Plateau, China, in Response to Fertilization

Scientific Reports, 2017
The Loess Plateau, China, is the world’s largest apple-producing region, and over 80% of the orchards are in rainfed (dryland) areas. Desiccation of the deep soil layer under dryland apple orchards is the main stressor of apple production in this region.

Limited Effect of Management on Apple Pollination: A Case Study from an Oceanic Island

Insects, 2020
Intensive agricultural practices leading to habitat degradation represent a major threat to pollinators. Diverse management practices are expected to influence wild pollinator abundance and richness on farms, although their effect in perennial crops is ...

Coupled Dynamics of Soil Water and Nitrate in the Conversion of Wild Grassland to Farmland and Apple Orchard in the Loess Drylands

Agronomy, 2023
Understanding the dynamics of soil water and nitrate in response to typical agricultural crops in dryland ecosystems are crucial for assessing ecological consequences and informing land use planning.

Pollination success in apples is dependent upon wild bees and orchard design

Journal of Pollination Ecology
Insect pollinators are important drivers of fruit quality and yield in horticultural systems. The global reduction in wild bee populations has increased the demand for managed honeybees, despite honeybees relatively low pollination efficiency.

LIVEZI SUPERINTENSIVE DE MĂR

Agricultura, 2008
The apple is cultivated from long time in Romania. Most part of apple orchards are old and no competitive. This is the reason why the new super intensive apple orchards are necesssary to make.

Studies on the soil fertility of apple orchard

Engei Gakkai zasshi, 1967
The study was conducted to find the relationship between the incidence of bitter pit and the exchangeable cations in soil of apple orchards which divided into three groups; (group A), severely affected, (group B) slightly affected, (group C) unaffected by bitter pit.

Breeding Ecology and Nest- Site Selection of Turtle Doves (Streptopelia turtur) in Three New Orchard Habitats

Journal of Bioresource Management, 2021
The main aim of our work was to investigate the breeding parameters in three orchard types in Algeria (apple, cherry and nectarine) for better conservation of existing species. A total of 149 active Turtle dove nests were monitored in these man–made agro-
