Space-time Analysis of the Longitudinal Variation in Wood Specific Gravity of Teak and Its Effect on Tree Growth and Development

BioResources, 2023
The space-time structure of a teak wood specific gravity (SG) dataset was analyzed using a mixed-effects model. Spatial correlation increased in space, a phenomenon attributable to the maturation of apical meristems, while the temporal correlation of ...

Tree growth and management in Ugandan agroforestry systems: effects of root pruning on tree growth and crop yield [PDF]

, 2008
Tree root pruning is a potential tool for managing below-ground competition when trees and crops are grown together in agroforestry systems. This study investigates its effects on growth and root distribution of Alnus acuminata (HB & K), Casuarina ...

Tree defence and bark beetles in a drying world: carbon partitioning, functioning and modelling. [PDF]

, 2020
Drought has promoted large-scale, insect-induced tree mortality in recent years, with severe consequences for ecosystem function, atmospheric processes, sustainable resources and global biogeochemical cycles.

Building Latent Class Growth Trees [PDF]

Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2017
Researchers use latent class growth (LCG) analysis to detect meaningful subpopulations that display different growth curves. However, especially when the number of classes required to obtain a good fit is large, interpretation of the encountered class-specific curves might not be straightforward.

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

Accelerated growth increases the somatic epimutation rate in trees

Nature Communications
Trees are integral to ecosystems and hold considerable economic importance. Their exceptional longevity and modular structure also make them valuable models for studying the long-term accumulation of somatic mutations and epimutations in plants ...

Predicting individual tree diameter at breast height for genetically diverse Catalpa bungei using nonlinear mixed-effects models and UAV LiDAR data

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionDiameter at breast height (DBH) is a key parameter for assessing tree growth, carbon storage, and ecological functions. Traditional ground surveys are inefficient, labor-intensive, and terrain-limited, making them unsuitable for large-scale ...

Age Dynamics of Wind Risk and Tree Sway Characteristics in a Softwood Plantation

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Quantifying wind risk in planted forests is critical to ensure the provision of wood-based biomaterials and forest ecosystem services in the future. Tree sway dynamics play a major role in determining their vulnerability to wind storms.

Tree growth as an effect indicator of silvopastoral systems in the low hilly area of western Henan province, China

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
The low hilly area is a major landform in the west of Henan province, China, and it is suffering soil and water loss because of human activities. The silvopastoral system that combines trees and grasses has been widely used to restore this fragile area ...
