Light use efficiency in pure and mixed Eucalyptus and Acacia mangium plantations with different stocking densities [PDF]
, 2019 Competition for light in mixed-species plantations is a main limiting factor for tree growth. Understanding the light absorption and light use efficiency for each species at different planting densities and spatial arrangement of trees is essential for ...

ForestsMercury, a global pollutant with both persistence and high toxicity, has remained a focal point in environmental science research over the past half-century. As a key pathway in the terrestrial mercury cycle, plants actively assimilate gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) through leaf stomata, constituting a critical pathway for terrestrial mercury cycling.

Litterfall production and fine root dynamics in cool-temperate forests
PLOS ONE, 2017 Current understanding of litterfall and fine root dynamics in temperate forests is limited, even though these are the major contributors to carbon and nutrient cycling in the ecosystems. In this study, we investigated litterfall and fine root biomass and production in five deciduous and four coniferous forests at the Gwangneung Experimental Forest in ...

Productivity and carbon allocation in monospecific and mixed-species plantations of Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium in Brazil [PDF]
, 2010 Nitrogen fertilizer inputs are required in fast growing eucalypt plantations to meet tree requirements, and to compensate for the large nitrogen outputs associated with wood exportation at the end of the short rotations. Due to the economic and potential

DIRECT ESTIMATION OF ABOVEGROUND FOREST PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH HYPERSPECTRAL REMOTE SENSING OF CANOPY NITROGEN [PDF]
, 2002 The concentration of nitrogen in foliage has been related to rates of net photosynthesis across a wide range of plant species and functional groups and thus represents a simple and biologically meaningful link between terrestrial cycles of carbon and ...

Seasonal LAI in slash pine estimated with LANDSAT TM [PDF]
The leaf area index (LAI, total area of leaves per unit area of ground) of most forest canopies varies throughout the year, yet for logistical reasons it is difficult to estimate anything more detailed than a seasonal maximum LAI.

Boom and Bust Carbon-Nitrogen Dynamics during Reforestation [PDF]
, 2017 Legacies of historical land use strongly shape contemporary ecosystem dynamics. In old-field secondary forests, tree growth embodies a legacy of soil changes affected by previous cultivation.

Response of short rotation forestry to dairy farm-pond effluent irrigation : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Agricultural Engineering at Massey University [PDF]
, 1999 A growing concern to protect the environment has prompted Regional Councils in New Zealand to monitor compliance under the Resource Management Act (1991) covering the discharge of wastewater into waterways.
