Genetic variability and relationship of pod and seed traits in Pongamia Pinnata (L.) Pierre., a potential agroforestry tree

Screening of twenty-four candidate plus trees from naturally available Pongamia pinnata genetic resources was carried out to elucidate the genetic variation and relationship of pod and seed traits on germination capacity to select the best planting material for higher productivity. The experiment conducted at Forest Research Centre, Institute of Forest Productivity Mandar, Ranchi during 2005-20...

Soil and Stem Water Storage Determine Phenology and Distribution of Tropical Dry Forest Trees

Many trees of tropical dry forests flower or form new shoots soon after leaf shedding during the dry season, i.e., during a period when trees are likely to be severely water stressed. To resolve this apparent paradox, phenology and seasonal changes in tree water status were monitored during two consecutive dry seasons in > 150 trees of 37 species growing at different sites in the tropical dry l...

Assessing the capacity of trees and shrubs species to accumulate of particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5 and PM0.2)

Background and Objective: Today, the presence and increase of particulate matter is one of the serious factors that threaten human health. In the meantime, trees can accumulate airborne particles by their foliage. In this study, the accumulating ability of various PM by the leaf of some tree and shrub species was evaluated in Isfahan. Materials and Methods: 12 species of trees and shrubs were ...

Investigation the Kinetics of CO2 Hydrate Formation in the Water System + CTAB + TBAF + ZnO

In this study, the kinetics of gas hydrate formation in the presence of tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoride (TBAF) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide surface active ingredient (CTAB) with zinc nano oxide (ZnO) are investigated and the most important kinetic parameters of hydrate formation such as their induction time and storage capacity were measured. The kinetic experiments were carried out in ...
