Does shade improve light interception efficiency? A comparison among seedlings from shade-tolerant and -intolerant temperate deciduous tree species [PDF]
• Here, we tested two hypotheses: shading increases light interception efficiency (LIE) of broadleaved tree seedlings, and shade-tolerant species exhibit larger LIEs than do shade-intolerant ones.

Assessment of Throughfall Drivers Under Pine Canopies Across Different Urban Climates
Throughfall plays a significant role in hydrological processes, as it defines the net volume of rainfall available for runoff generation under a vegetative canopy. Our research examines the differences in variables influencing canopy throughfall for the same tree species across different climate types using regression tree and boosted regression tree ...

Poplar (Populus tremula L. x P. alba L.) and birch (Betula pendula Roth.) microcuttings obtained from in vitro cultures on media with aluminium (Al+) or without aluminium (Al-) were rooted in perlite saturated with a liquid 1/4 MS medium.

Flower eDNA reveals diverse and highly specific arthropod communities in a forest. Using sentinel plants across a gradient of forest density and tree species composition, we show that forest structure features (particularly those related to light availability) drive flower‐visiting arthropod richness.

ABSTRACT Afforestation is one of the widely used methods of reclamation in cutaway peatlands where spontaneous revegetation is not feasible, but fertilization or liming is usually required to encourage the development of vegetation cover. Wood ash application increases planted tree biomass, but the role of spontaneously incoming species in early‐stage ...

Crop plans and yield predictions for Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and birch (Betula pendula Roth & Betula pubescens Ehrh.) mixtures [PDF]
In young Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) stands containing an even-aged component of self-propagated birches (Betula pendula Roth and B. pubescens Ehrh.) the forest manager has the choice of removing all broad-leaved trees or of accepting a mixed

Species-specific responses to ozone and drought in six deciduous trees [PDF]
Saplings of alder (Alnus glutinosa), birch (Betula pendula), hazel (Corylus avellana), beech (Fagus sylvatica), ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and oak (Quercus robur) were exposed to five episodic ozone regimes in solardomes, with treatment means between 16 ...

Cropping Beyond the Visible; Innovative, UV‐Emitting LED Applications for the Horticultural Industry
ABSTRACT The estimated increase in the world population to 9.7 billion by 2050 and the increased frequency of extreme weather events caused by climate change will put further pressure on world food supply. This emphasises the need to optimise all agricultural techniques.

ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the effects of habitat degradation on biodiversity is essential for undertaking conservation initiatives, but commonly used metrics of biodiversity, like species richness and beta diversity, can miss important signals of change.
