In a study of fungi growing in various root-associated habitats in and around Picea mariana, black spruce, in northern Ontario, Canada, an examination was made of the degree to which differences in growth sites within an area of a few square kilometers might influence the structure of root-associated filamentous microfungal populations. Picea mariana roots were collected at four strongly differ...

Need for regional economic development and global demand agro-industrial commodities have resulted in large-scale conversion of forested landscapes to industrial agriculture across South East Asia. However, net emissions CO2 from tropical peatland conversions may be significant remain poorly quantified, resulting controversy around the magnitude carbon release following conversion. Here we pres...

(1) Background: The destruction of peatlands caused by forest fire can significantly damage the ecosystems, flora, and fauna found in forests. Swamp jelutung (Dyera polyphylla) is a tree species that be planted on peatland combined with seasonal plants to provide multiple economic environmental benefits. aim this study analyze biomass carbon stocks above belowground stands swamp an age class 10...

Assessing a taxon’s response to change in environmental variables is fundamental knowledge understanding trends species diversity, abundance, and distribution patterns. This particularly needed on Borneo, where Odonata populations different habitats poor. To address this gap, we present the first study investigating relationship between morphology of communities heath (kerangas)-dominated mixed...

Peat forest fire detectors need to be developed immediately due the frequency of peat fires in Malaysia during summer is very high. This can affect life and health surrounding population. Among them Ayer Hitam Muar Forest Reserve, Johor which almost 50,000 acres size experiences every year. However, monitoring management methods still improved terms speed, accuracy systematic channeling alerts....

A total of 54 soil fungi were collected from Sirindhorn peat swamp forest in Narathiwat Province which is the last forests Thailand. They extracted using four different solvents and 104 crude extracts obtained. The bioactivity screening these samples was done employing alpha-glucosidase inhibition, anti-inflammation nitric oxide inhibition cytotoxicity cancer cell line (MCF-7). results showed t...

The first overview on the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of peat bogs of the Austrian Bohemian Forest is presented. Seven oligotrophic peat bog sites were studied in 2011 by suction sampler ("G-Vac") and 93 Auchenorrhyncha species (with 7465 adult specimens) were recorded. Eleven species (about 18 % of the individuals) are tyrphobiontic or tyrphophilous. The relative species abundance plot is not very s...

Skidding in peat swamp plantation forest requires high skill and alertness, particularly relation to damage, which includes subsidence as such a damage. The objective of this research is analyze the effect skidding operator’s on productivity, cost forest. method comprised operation conducted by two different operators with working experience, followed measuring average productivity cost, elevat...

Abstract Forest fire is a very common natural disaster or caused by humans that happens throughout the year in humid country like Malaysia. had many problems haze and disruption of environment. The peat-swamp areas are more susceptible to forest due having relatively spongy floor covered with thick dense layer humus. objective this research determine active hotspots at Raja Musa Reserve, Kuala ...
