Technical and secure information on the production of quality atemoya seedlings (Annona squamosa L. x Annona cherimola Mill.) are paramount importance due to growing interest in this crop. This study aimed assess formation propagated by grafting methods cultivars using araticum sylvatica) rootstocks. The experiment was carried out a screened environment at Western Paraná State University (Unioe...

In this study, individual tree height (TH), crown base height (CBH), crown area (CA) and crown volume (CV), which were considered as essential parameters for individual stem volume and biomass estimation, were estimated by both an airborne laser scanner (ALS) and a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS). These ALSand TLS-derived tree parameters were compared because TLS has been introduced as an instr...

Amongst a large number of Populus species, micropropagation of P. deltoides has not been possible. The authors now report a reproducible protocol for mass production of cloned plants of 2 important clones of P. deltoides, viz., G3 and G48 through induced shoot bud differentiation in the in vitro cultured segments of leaf, stem and root of adult tree origin. Establishment of experimental plants ...

Limited knowledge is available about the growth of Norway spruce saplings related to spring climate, especially snow duration, in subalpine forests. The primary goal of this research was to quantify the relative importance of the direct and indirect drivers of growth for spruce saplings in subalpine forests that are related to spring climate. Two related, subordinate goals were to compare the s...

The Asiatic hybrid lily, a bulbous ornamental plant, has a special position in the horticulture as cut flower. To overcome some problems in nutrition of bulb flowers, the use of hydroponic system and nutrient solution is important in the cultivation of these flowers. The Asiatic Hybrid Lilium bulbs “Tresor” cultivar, used for the current research were planted under 3 different calcium levels in...

common yew (taxus baccata) is one of the native and extinguishing speices at northern forests of iran that is very important as a genetic reserve and, therefore, more studies are necessary for preservation and restoration of this rare forest speices. for having high value and complete preservation of gene structure, vegetative propagation is one of the suitable in use methods in this field. thi...

Amethodology has been developed for defining the various threshold conditions required for the opening of serotinous cones and viable seed release in the overstorey canopies in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests on the basis of fireline intensity and, in turn, rate of fire spread and fuel consumption. The extent of the effects to the overstore...

Remote sensing is revolutionizing the way we study forests, and recent technological advances mean we are now able - for the first time - to identify and measure the crown dimensions of individual trees from airborne imagery. Yet to make full use of these data for quantifying forest carbon stocks and dynamics, a new generation of allometric tools which have tree height and crown size at their c...
