Water limitation to soil CO2efflux in a pine forest at the semiarid “timberline”

Temporal changes in soil aggregates and water erosion after a wildfire in a Mediterranean pine forest

The evolution of soil structure after a forest fire was studied on two zones representatives of a typical Mediterranean Pine forest. These zones were in opposite slope orientation but with similar topographical and pedological characteristics. Changes in soil macro-aggregation and water stable micro-aggregation were monitored seasonally during a year after the fire. The water erosion patterns w...

Ozone Fluxes to a Larch Forest Ecosystem at the Timberline in the Italian Alps

Estimating Soil Moisture in a Boreal Old Jack Pine Forest

Polarimetric Land P-band AIRSAR data, corresponding model simulations, and classification algorithms have shown that in a boreal old jack pine (OJP) stand, the principal scattering mechanism responsible for radar backscatter is the double-bounce mechanism between the tree trunks and the ground [1]. The data to be used here were taken during six flights from April to September 1994” as part of t...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

Pine wilt disease – a threat to pine forest in Europe

Pine wilt disease caused by pine wood nematodes is endemic to North America. Pine wood nematodes have already spread to East Asia, including China, Taiwan and Korea in addition to Japan. The pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, was discovered in Portuguese pine forests in 1999. If it were to become established in the pine forests in Europe, it could become one of the most serious thr...
