Tree-growth analyses to estimate tree species' drought tolerance.
Climate change is challenging forestry management and practices. Among other things, tree species with the ability to cope with more extreme climate conditions have to be identified. However, while environmental factors may severely limit tree growth or even cause tree death, assessing a tree species' potential for surviving future aggravated environmental conditions is rather demanding. The ai...
متن کاملEcophysiological traits associated with drought in Mediterranean tree seedlings: individual responses versus interspecific trends in eleven species.
Species differ regarding their drought tolerance and individuals of a given species can modify their morphology and physiology in response to drought. However, since evolutionary and ecological selective pressures differ, individual and interspecific responses to drought might not match. We determined summer survival and a number of ecophysiological variables in two factorial experiments with s...
متن کاملfrequencies evaluation in estimation of tree species diversity in degraded forests case study: kouhmian forests, azadshahr, golestan province
aim of this research was evaluated and compared of density (number tree per hectare), basal area and volume characteristics for estimation of tree species diversity in degraded forests. in order to, 73 hectares of kouhmian forests was inventory based on random systematic pattern with circular plots (10r and 26 plots). in each plot species, dbh and number of tree were measured and recorded. to e...
متن کاملRegion effects influence local tree species diversity.
Global patterns of biodiversity reflect both regional and local processes, but the relative importance of local ecological limits to species coexistence, as influenced by the physical environment, in contrast to regional processes including species production, dispersal, and extinction, is poorly understood. Failure to distinguish regional influences from local effects has been due, in part, to...
متن کاملAre Tree Species Diversity and Genotypic Diversity Effects on Insect Herbivores Mediated by Ants?
Plant diversity can influence predators and omnivores and such effects may in turn influence herbivores and plants. However, evidence for these ecological feedbacks is rare. We evaluated if the effects of tree species (SD) and genotypic diversity (GD) on the abundance of different guilds of insect herbivores associated with big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) were contingent upon the prot...
