Forest-scale sap flux responses to rainfall in a dryland eucalyptus plantation

The effect of fertilization on sap flux and canopy conductance in a Eucalyptus saligna experimental forest

Land devoted to plantation forestry (50millionha) has been increasing worldwide and the genus Eucalyptus is a popular plantation species (14millionha) for its rapid growth and ability to grow well on a wide range of sites. Fertilization is a common silvicultural tool to improve tree growth with potential effects on stand water use, but the relationship between wood growth and water use in respo...

Sap-flux-scaled transpiration responses to light, vapor pressure deficit, and leaf area reduction in a flooded Taxodium distichum forest.

We used 20-mm-long, Granier-type sensors to quantify the effects of tree size, azimuth and radial position in the xylem on the spatial variability in xylem sap flux in 64-year-old trees of Taxodium distichum L. Rich. growing in a flooded forest. This information was used to scale flux to the stand level to investigate variations in half-hourly and daily (24-hour) sums of sap flow, transpiration...

Effects of Eucalyptus Plantation on Termites in Dead Wood on the Forest Floor

Expansion of Eucalyptus plantation is considered to be one of the major human disturbances to tropical forests, where termites are superabundant and an important decomposer. Here we studied the biomass of dead wood and the abundance and species composition of termites in dead wood in Eucalyptus plantation forest (EF) in Thailand and compared the data with those of the neighboring dry evergreen ...
