In this study, the differences in terms of fiber morphology and chemical composition between heartwood sapwood red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh.), black willow (Salix nigra Marsh.), oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) were investigated. The results showed that samples had shorter fibers lower slenderness ratios than those samples. vessel element length sampled tree species statistic...

1. Host-plant genetic variation affects the diversity and composition of associated above and belowground communities. Most evidence supporting this view is derived from studies 3 within a single common garden, thereby constraining the range of biotic and abiotic environmental conditions that might directly or indirectly (via phenotypic plasticity) affect communities. If natural variability in ...

The aim of present study was to evaluate antioxidant efficacy of pussy willow extract (PWE) and essential oil (PWEO) in stabilization of sunflower oil (SFO) during ambient storage (60 days at 25°C). Initially, total phenolic (TP) and total flavonoid (TF) contents were evaluated. Then, PWE, PWEO, and TBHQ were added to SFO. Peroxide value (PV), carbonyl value (CV), total polar compound (TPC), ac...

Flooding can adversely worsen metal-contaminated soil and influence phytoremediation efficiency; thus, it is crucial to explore the eco-physiological responses of plants combined stress metals flooding. Here, plant growth, photosynthesis, nutrient composition in arbor willow (Salix jiangsuensis ‘J172’) shrub integra ‘Yizhibi’) were studied using a pot experiment with Cu-contaminated (239.5 mg∙k...

Willow (Salix viminalis spp.) shrubs are being planted along riverbanks, on erodible and marginal farmland. Wood chips made from the woody biomass could improve properties of light-textured soils with low organic matter content in potato-based systems. were applied at 0, 20, 40, 60 Mg ha ?1 (fresh weight) as a soil amendment. Soil health parameters evaluated after 12 months, followed by C N con...
