The Biomass Potential of Some Selected Native and Non-Native Species for Afforestation - A Case Study from Western Norway
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Deliberate anthropogenic introductions of exotic trees to NW Europe are not particular new; traces of planting near the castles and monasteries dates back to the late Roman period and early medieval age [1]. The first reforestation and forest culture initiatives in Norway were taken in the 1740s [2-5], and larch plantations in western Norway were established in the 1780s [6]. However, the ideas of afforestation evolved rather slowly. Interest for foreign exotic species boosted after the 1870s, when the first forest nurseries and “trials” were established in western Norway [5].

Determination of suitable areas for reforestation and afforestation with indigenous species
To be successful in tree establishment, an assessment of land suitability would be necessary. The aim of this study was determining the potential habitats of three native tree species (Quercus persica, Pistacia atlantica, Amygdalous scoparia) in Siahkoh region of Ilam County, using Boolean method and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). For this regard, the slope, aspect and hypsometric maps o...
متن کاملAesthetic Evaluation of Autumn Landscape of Hyrcanian Native Trees Species for Use in Urban Landscape (A Case Study in Sari City Area of Iran)
Recent decades have witnessed the growing use of non-native plants in Iran while their use is very challenging and high-cost for the country. This raised a new approach in recent decades towards the use of native plants. Native species are precious because they possess the main ecological factors and they are already compatible with the region. Accordingly, this research was conducted to evalua...
متن کاملEstimation of Biomass and Bio-fuel Production Potential by Afforestation in Arid Area of the Murchison Region, Western Australia
Despite recent studies on bio-fuels for carbon mitigation, biomass resource shortages in Japan continue to be a serious concern. To deal with this future problem, we evaluated whether the large amounts of biomass supplied from arid land afforestation in Western Australia could compensate for this biomass resource shortage, by estimating how much biomass as bio-fuel resource could be produced by...
متن کاملRangeland Plants Potential for Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soils with Lead, Zinc, Cadmium and Nickel (Case Study: Rangelands around National Lead & Zinc Factory, Zanjan, Iran)
There are many remediating methods for the polluted soils but only phytoremediation is a cost effective, environmental friendly, aesthetically pleasing approach that is most suitable for many countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of native plants for phytoremediation of contaminated soils with lead, zinc, cadmium and nickel in the rangelands around National Lead ...

In the present study, the polymorphism of myostatin gene (MSTN) in native chickens of Western Azerbaijan Rearing and Breeding Institute was investigated. The blood samples were collected from eighty two randomly selected hens. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples and a fragment of myostatin including 599 bp in promoter and exon 1 was amplified using PCR method. Breeding values for body ...
