Assessing Site Productivity of Indigenous Cypress Pine Forest in Southern Queensland [PDF]
, 1988 Site form, the expected height of a 25 cm d.b.h.o.b. tree predicted from the stand height-diameter relationship, is shown to be a practical and useful measure of site productivity in indigenous cypress pine (Callitris sp.) forests in southern Queensland.

An extended Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) stable isotope record. Implications for paleoclimate and the nature of the K/T boundary event [PDF]
In order to obtain a detailed single site record of marine productivity and temperature across the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundary, both delta C-13 and delta O-18 values were measured in paired surface and deep water microfossil and nannofossil ...

Study of relationship between time overrun and productivity on construction sites [PDF]
International Journal of Construction Supply Chain Management, 2011 The history of the construction industry worldwide is full of projects that were completed with significant time and cost overruns. In an attempt to reverse this trend, this study aims at establishing the relationship between time overrun and labour ...

Latitudinal effects on crown shape evolution
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Large variations in crown shape are observed across the globe, from plants with wide and deep crowns to those with leaves clustered at the top. While there have been advances in the large‐scale monitoring of forests, little is known about factors driving

Optimal Forest Taxation under Private and Social Amenity Valuation [PDF]
This paper analyzes socially optimal forest taxation when the government has a binding tax revenue requirement. In the Faustmann model the optimal design of forest taxation consists of non-distortionary taxes, such as site productivity tax, site value ...

Response of temperate grasslands at different altitudes to simulated summer drought differed but scaled with annual precipitation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2009 Water is an important resource for plant life. Since climate scenarios for Switzerland predict an average reduction of 20% in summer precipitation until 2070, understanding ecosystem responses to water shortage, e.g. in terms of plant productivity, is of

Expanding alternate wetting and drying and improving its productivity in irrigated rice: Identification of required plant traits and suitable soil types [PDF]
, 2010 Irrigated rice consumes two to three times more water than other cereals. The availability of water is, however, decreasing and this prompted researchers to find ways in saving water in irrigated rice fields where high yield is critical to ensure food ...
