Effect of soil waterlogging on below-ground biomass allometric relations in Norway spruce [PDF]
An increasing importance is assigned to the estimation and verification of carbon stocks in forests. Forestry practice has several long-established and reliable methods for the assessment of aboveground biomass; however we still miss accurate predictors ...

Reinforcing loose foundation stones in trait-based plant ecology [PDF]
The promise of "trait-based" plant ecology is one of generalized prediction across organizational and spatial scales, independent of taxonomy. This promise is a major reason for the increased popularity of this approach. Here, we argue that some important foundational assumptions of trait-based ecology have not received sufficient empirical evaluation.

Occupational Noise Exposure in Natural Stone Proccesing Plants
Occupational noise exposure is a serious physical risk factor leading to occupational diseases including hearing loss. In this study, occupational noise measurements taken at seven natural stone processing plants operating in Sivas, Turkey and its environs are evaluated in accordance with the task-based assessment method given in TS EN ISO 9612-2009 ...

New Plants for Florida: Stone Fruit
Peach, nectarine, plum, apricot and cherry are called stone fruit because of their central hard pit. Because of Florida’s warm climate, breeding programs for stone fruit have focused on developing “low-chill” varieties –those that can grow and produce fruit with very few hours of chilling or cold weather in the winter.
