Gross heating value of various shade-trees wood in coffee plantation in Costa Rica and its relation with extractives and specific gravity

open access: yesCoffee and Cocoa Research Journal, 2018
Shade-trees with energy use in coffee plantations are an important alternative to increase profitability in groforestry systems. The aim of this study was to investigate gross calorific value (GCV) of 15 shade-tree species in coffee plantations in Costa ...

Physical properties of four ring-porous hardwood species: Influence of wood rays on tangential and radial wood shrinkage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Some relationships between ray proportions, strength and shrinkage properties and basic density in hardwood species were highlighted. A better understanding of their relationships caused by the variation in moisture content in the hygroscopic domain ...

Sapwood area – leaf area relationships for coast redwood [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Forest Research, 2005
Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl.) trees in different canopy strata and crown positions were sampled to develop relationships between sapwood cross-sectional area and projected leaf area. Sampling occurred during the summers of 2000 and 2001 and covered tree heights ranging from 7.7 to 45.2 m and diameters at breast height ranging ...

Non-destructive estimation of sapwood and heartwood width in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2010
Accurate estimates of the water conducting sapwood area are necessary to scale sapflow measurements to tree and stand level transpiration. We tested a non-destructive method, electric resistivity tomography (ERT), to estimate the area of conductive ...

Community Analysis of Culturable Sapwood Endophytes from Apulian Olive Varieties with Different Susceptibility to Xylella fastidiosa

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Endophytes are symptomless fungal and/or bacterial microorganisms found in almost all living plant species. The symbiotic association with their host plants by colonizing the internal tissues has endowed them as a valuable tool to suppress diseases ...

Composition, distribution and supposed origin of mineral inclusions in sessile oak wood - consequences for microdensitometrical analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
SEM and light-microscopical observations, supported by chemical microanalysis with an EDXA system, revealed that light-saturated pixels observed in X-ray negatives of sessile oak (Quercus petraea Liebl.) wood were caused by inorganic deposits present ...

Detection of electric resistivity tomography and evaluation of the sapwood-heartwood demarcation in three Asia Gymnosperm species

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2012
The proportions of sapwood and heartwood of trees have significant impacts on various uses. Electric resistivity tomography (ERT) and corresponding electrical resistance (ER) value maps were examined in Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D.

Relevance of wood anatomy and size of Amazonian trees in the determination and allometry of sapwood area [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica, 2019
Hydrological processes in forest stands are mainly influenced by tree species composition and morpho-physiological characteristics. Few studies on anatomical patterns that govern plant hydraulics were conducted in tropical forest ecosystems.

Daily variations of water use with vapor pressure deficit in a plantation of I214 poplars. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Daily rates of whole tree water use were measured in a homogeneous 7-year-old plantation over 84 days. Two trees were selected in the two most contrasting ends, i.e., with mean water table at -1.5 m and -3.5 m. Results showed that the mean tree water use

Variations in water use by a mature mangrove of Avicennia germinans, French Guiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the tropical intertidal zones, little is known on water uptake by mangroves. Transpiration rates are generally measured at leaf level, but few studies exist on water use at tree or stand levels.
