root and shoot osmotic and elastic properties of two species of haloxylon aphyllum and h.persicum in response to water stress were studied. the main goal of the study was to determine if the tissuesof two species utilize osmotic adjustment and/or enhance their elastic property during prolonged water stresscondition. the results showed that although tissue elasticity of both species of haloxylon...

Airborne lidar technology can play a significant role in revolutionising wood resource inventories in Australian softwood plantations. Plantation managers are interested in the technology but unsure of how to implement it. Hence there is a need to demonstrate and compare various lidar analysis techniques to provide guidance for future operational inventory programs. This paper presents findings...

Background Eucalyptus species and their hybrids encompass approximately 40% of forestry plantation area in South Africa and contribute significantly to the paper pulp industry due to their favourable wood fibre properties. Eucalypt plantation trees are affected by numerous pathogens during their lifetime, some of which can cause severe losses such as Phytophtora spp and Chrysoporthe spp. Plant ...

Various pests and diseases which are a disturbance in a forest plantation widely reported by many practitioners and researchers in forest management. Therefore, pests and diseases management activities become a very important part in the management of forest plantation. As an important stages in forest management, identification and recognition by an expert should be done quickly and accurately...

Conversion of tropical forests into agriculture may present a serious risk to amphibian diversity if amphibians are not able to use agricultural areas as habitat. Recently, in Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province - a hotspot of frog diversity within China - two-thirds of the native tropical rainforests have been converted into rubber plantation agriculture. We conducted surveys and experim...

Parthenium hysterophorus, an invasive alien weed, is spreading rapidly across various land uses in Nepal. To understand how Parthenium is spreading across land uses at local scale, occurrence of this weed was recorded and its’ coverage in percent estimated along trails and road network at every 100 meter distance in Kirtipur Municipality of Kathmandu valley. In addition, vegetation sampling was...

In the present study, land use/land cover changes has been evaluated in the decade between 1989 and 2010 utilizing Landsat TM5 satellite images in the Hugli estuary which stretches across 4817.98 km 2 of Gangetic delta in West Bengal, India, predominantly dominated by mangrove plantation. The study utilizes supervised classification techniques using Fuzzy Cmean classification algorithm. The mai...
