Physiological and Growth Responses of Tropical Dry Forest Tree Seedlings to Water and Nutrient Additions: Comparisons Between Nitrogen Fixers and Non‐Fixers

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
This study examined the physiological and growth responses of tropical dry forest tree seedlings to water and nutrient additions, comparing nitrogen (N)‐fixing and non‐fixing species. The results showed that N‐fixing species responded more strongly to nutrient addition, accumulating significantly more biomass and increasing height growth rate. Overall,

Effects of Adding Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes on Performance of Polyvinyl Acetate and Urea‐Formaldehyde Adhesives in Tropical Timber Species

Journal of Nanomaterials, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with hydroxyl groups (MWCNTs‐OH) have been incorporated into polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and urea‐formaldehyde (UF) adhesives utilized in tropical wood gluing. The Raman spectroscopy, the atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to describe the MWCNTs‐OH.

Ecuaciones alométricas, biomasa y carbono en plantaciones forestales tropicales en la costa de Jalisco

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales, 2021
La estimación de la biomasa aérea es una herramienta clave para determinar el potencial de almacenamiento de carbono de un taxón. En el occidente de México, se han establecido plantaciones forestales con especies tropicales, pero se desconoce el ...

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.

An integrative approach to silvopastoral system design: perspectives, potentials and principles

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 218-258, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Silvopastoral systems have complex impacts on a diverse range of outcomes, making it essential to design these systems using an integrative approach to maximise positive impacts to farms. This paper comprises firstly a systematic review of global silvopastoral processes, and secondly stakeholder‐driven synthesis of key opportunities and ...

Evolutionary history and root trait coordination predict nutrient strategy in tropical legume trees

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 5, Page 1711-1723, September 2024.
Summary Plants express diverse nutrient use and acquisition traits, but it is unclear how trait combinations at the species level are constrained by phylogeny, trait coordination, or trade‐offs in resource investment. One trait – nitrogen (N) fixation – is assumed to correlate with other traits and used to define plant functional groups, despite ...

Pinewood preserved with Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Jacq) Griseb. heartwood aqueous extract

Revista Árvore
Enterolobium cyclocarpum heartwood is prized for furniture making because of its natural durability. In this process, up to 50% of the heartwood is discarded in the sawmill. Which contains extractives that can be used to emulate the natural durability and give protection to soft or rapidly deteriorating ...

Behavior of the gum from Enterolobium cyclocarpum in the preparation peach nectar

Revista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2006
Enterolobium cyclocarpum, (caro-caro), species widely disseminated in Venezuela, produces gum with high yield. It was studied the behavior of this hydrocolloid as additive in the preparation of peach nectar. It was carried out six treatments using different gum concentration (0.20; 0.30; 0.50; 0.70; 1%) wich were compared with a treatment without gum ...
