Investigating the Self‐Thinning Rule in Plantation Forests: Analyzing the Relationship Between the Basal Area and Height Growth in Southern China [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe self‐thinning rule in forest stands is fundamental to the development of density management strategies, as it determines the maximum stand density achievable for a given tree size.

Is the basal area of maize internodes involved in borer resistance? [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2011 To elucidate the role of the length of the internode basal ring (LIBR) in resistance to the Mediterranean corn borer (MCB), we carried out a divergent selection program to modify the LIBR using two maize synthetic varieties (EPS20 and EPS21), each with a different genetic background.

Interactions Between Enrichment Planted Seedlings and Naturally Occurring Trees in Selectively Logged Lowland Dipterocarp Forest [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionOld‐growth forests in Southeast Asia are dominated by trees of the Dipterocarpaceae family which are targeted by selective logging. Their traits (supra‐annual mast fruiting, limited dispersal, and recalcitrant seeds that form no seed bank) mean they can ...

Diversity and soil chemical properties jointly explained the basal area in karst forest
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 IntroductionPlant diversity and soil chemical properties are important factors affecting the plant growth. We sought to compare the explanatory rates of diversity and soil chemical properties in explaining the variation of basal area in karst forests ...

Return of forest structure and diversity in tropical restoration plantings
Ecosphere, 2022 Stepping‐stone restoration plantings can reconcile conservation goals and local land‐use needs in highly fragmented ecosystems. We explored how initial planting composition influences recruiting plant species density, diversity, abundance, and forest ...

Comparing basal area growth models for Norway spruce and Scots pine dominated stands
Silva Fennica, 2022 Models that predict forest development are essential for sustainable forest management. Constructing growth models via regression analysis or fitting a family of sigmoid equations to construct compatible growth and yield models are two ways these models ...
