A mixed hardulood stand composed of 33% oak (Quercus “pp.), 33% yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.), and 14% other spec ies, was clearcut in 1963. Twenty years lo ter a deueloping, even-aged stand of pedominantly sprout origin is domi?gated by yellow-poplar, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), red maple (Acer rubrum L.), and sweet birch (Betula lenta L.). The 0ak.s are a minor and de...

VANCLAY, J.K. 1989. Modelling selection harvesting in tropical rain forests. Long term yield estimates for natural forests require a harvesting model to enable future yields to be estimated reliably. The model should predict the felled stems, the proportion of these which are merchantable, and any damage to the residual stand. Regression analyses was used to develop a model of current logging p...

The ectomycorrhizal fungal associations of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii D. Don) and bishop pine (Pinus muricata D. Don) were investigated in a mixed forest stand. We identified fungi directly from field-collected ectomycorrhizal (ECM) root tips using PCR-based methods. Sixteen species of fungi were found, of which twelve associated with both hosts. Rhizopogon parksii Smith was specific to...

A gap-typed forest dynamic model KOPIDE was used to assess the dynamic responses of a mixed broadleaved-Korean pine forest stand to climate change in northeastem China. The GFDL climate change scenario was applied to derive the changes in environmental variables, such as 10 ~ based DEGD and PET~P, which were used to implement the model. The simulation result suggests that the climate change wou...

Models of silviculture are used for the selection and scheduling silvicultural practices from installation to end production cycle. Most published models even aged stands. Those mixed uneven stands scarce. The goal this study was development Portuguese species; with examples Pinus pinea , Quercus suber rotundifolia pinaster Castanea sativa . Five stand structures were considered (pure aged, tem...

in this research with using of obtained information from a natural fraxinus the variation of quantities and qualitative measures of current stand in an 8 year period was conducted in chelir part of kheyroud forest. data collection was conducted by full callipering method in two periods of 1384 and 1392. during the period of study the parameters of dominant mean height and relative crown height ...

Question: How does competition between quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) and white fir (Abies concolor) affect growth and spatial pattern of each species? Location: The northern Sierra Nevada, California, USA. Methods: In paired plots in mixed aspen(n5 3) or white fir-dominated (n5 2) stands, we mapped trees and saplings and recorded DBH, height, species, and condition and took increment core...

We investigate the nature of charge transport in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) using self-assembled layers of DNA in large-area molecular junctions. A protocol was developed that yields dense monolayers where the DNA molecules are not standing upright, but are lying flat on the substrate. As a result the charge transport is measured not along the DNA molecules but in the transverse direction, acr...
