A Soil Temperature Model for Closed Canopied Forest Stands
We developed a soil temperature model to predict hourly temperatures at the litter-soil interface and at soil depths of 0.10 m, 0.20 m, and 1.25 m in hardwood forest stands with closed canopies. The model, which was written in BASIC on a microcomputer, uses a numerical solution for the partial differential heat-flow equation. Litter-soil interface temperature was predicted from air temperature ...
متن کاملsoil quality indices in pure and mixed forest stands of southern caspian region
the present study aimed to assess pure planted species (i.e., alnus subcordata l., poplus deltoids l., taxadium distichum l. rich) and a mixed natural forest (i.e., dominated by quercus castaneifolia c. a. mey. - carpinus betulus l. - parrotia persica c. a. meyer) on basis of some soil quality indices in mazandaran province, northern iran. sixteen samples per stand were taken from the top 10 cm...
متن کاملSoil changes induced by hardwood and coniferous tree plantations establishment: Comparison with natural forest soil at Berenjestanak lowland forest in north of Iran
Increasing urbanisation and industrialisation have led to a dramatic reduction in forest area, and now only culturally protected remnants of natural forests and some new plantations remain in most areas of the north of Iran. To investigate the status of the chemical and physical characteristics of soil under these remnant forests and assess the possible impacts of reforestation on soil properti...
متن کاملGrowth, Development and Yield in Pure and Mixed Forest Stands
Objective: Ecosystems with mixed species compared to the ones with pure compositions provide a broader range of options in the fields of biodiversity, conservation, protection and restoration. Nearly all forest plantations are established as monocultures, but research has shown that there are potential advantages to be gained by using carefully designed species mixtures in place of monocultures...
