Balancing the Effects of Forest Conservation and Restoration on South China Karst Greening

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2023
Forest conservation and restoration are key components of ecological engineering. Previous studies often focused on the forest restoration impact on vegetation greening, ignoring the importance of forest conservation, and the link between forest ...

Impacts of Soil Properties, Topography, and Environmental Features on Soil Water Holding Capacities (SWHCs) and Their Interrelationships

open access: yesLand, 2021
Soil water holding capacities (SWHCs) are among the most important factors for understanding the water cycle in forested catchments because they control available plant water that supports evapotranspiration.

Seasonal stability of 137Cs in coppiced Quercus serrata current-year branches: Toward the estimation of trunk 137Cs activity concentrations without felling

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Radiocesium (137Cs) remains in forests in the Fukushima region due to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. To resume the use of bed logs in this area for shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) cultivation, estimating 137Cs activity ...

Differential seed removal, germination and seedling growth as determinants of species suitability for forest restoration by direct seeding – A case study from northern Thailand

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2023
Background: Direct seeding is potentially a more cost-effective alternative to conventional tree planting for restoring tropical forest ecosystems. However, seed loss, due to removal and damage by animals, can substantially reduce seedling establishment.

Variation in Seed Quality, Seedling Growth and Biomass Allocation of One-year-old Siberian Larch ( Larix sibirica Ledeb.) Seedlings Grown in Different Conditions from Diverse Seed Sources of Mongolia [PDF]

open access: yesMongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006
The rehabilitation of degraded forests in Mongolia showed very low success and the total area reforested successfully represents only 5% of the total forest lost. One of the reasons for such poor results may be low

Radiocesium mobility in different parts of the two major tree species in Fukushima

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Radiocesium (137Cs) released in the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is still cycling in the forest ecosystem. We examined the mobility of 137Cs in the external parts—leaves/needles, branches, and bark—of the two major tree species in ...

Temporal changes in the radiocesium distribution in forests over the five years after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
To elucidate the temporal changes in the radiocesium distribution in forests contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, we monitored the 137Cs concentration and inventory within forests from 2011 to 2015 across nine plots ...
