Competition among surface roots in a selectively-logged, semi-deciduous forest in southeastern Mexico – effects on seedlings of two species of contrasting shade tolerance
-Experimental manipulations of root competition on naturally established seedlings were conducted across canopy openness and soil depth gradients in a selectively-logged, semideciduous forest on limestone-derived soils in southeastern Mexico. We studied the relatively shade intolerant mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla, Meliaceae) and shade tolerant ramón (Brosimum alicastrum, Moraceae). Both spec...
متن کاملShort-term impacts of nutrient manipulations on leaf gas exchange and biomass partitioning in contrasting 2-year-old Pinus taeda clones during seedling establishment
We conducted a 1-year greenhouse experiment to assess the impact of nutrient manipulations on seedling growth, biomass partitioning, and leaf gas exchange between two fast growing Pinus taeda clones that differed in growth efficiency. After 1 year we observed significant treatment and treatment by clone effects on growth, biomass partitioning, and gas exchange parameters. Fertilization increase...
متن کاملInvestigation on the Effects of Eco-cover on Unwanted Plant Control, Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) Growth and Soil Properties
Eco-cover is ecological mulch and its application is an eco-friendly and low-cost method to improve soil environment and prevention of unwanted plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eco-cover on unwanted plants, Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) growth and soil Properties. For this purpose, two series of rectangular plot (with and without eco-cover), in three rep...
متن کاملEffect of Paclobutrazol on Canopy Temperature and Some Quantitative and Qualitative Characteristics of Two Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Cultivars in Different Irrigation Regimes
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent reduction in rapeseed grain yield under limited moisture conditions. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg L-1) on canopy surface temperature and some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two rapeseed cultivars (Okapi and Natalie) under full irrigation and late season ...
متن کاملMosaics of canopy openness induced by tropical cyclones in lowland rain forests with contrasting management histories in northeastern Australia
Tropical Cyclone ‘Rona’ crossed the coast of the Daintree lowlands of northeastern Australia in 1999. This study reports on its impact on forest canopy openness at six lowland rain forest sites with contrasting management histories (old-growth, selectively logged and regrowth). Percentage canopy openness was calculated from individual hemispherical photographs taken from marked points below the...
