Silviculturists use a variety of techniques, including repellents, to reduce browse damage by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to valuable eastern hardwood seedlings. Systemic selenium, sodium selenite, was evaluated with captive whitetailed deer for its repellency in white ash (Fraxinus americana) and black cherry (Prunus serotina) seedlings. Selenium had no effect in reducing browsi...

Drought affects the growth and production of Fraxinus tree species, such as precious woody plant mandshurica. Based on interspecific hybrid F1 combinations, D110 plants F. mandshurica × americana with strong drought resistance were selected for this study. To further reveal their heterosis mechanism under drought, in study, an analysis was conducted pertaining to physiological indexes gene expr...

The holm oak woodlands as ecotonic phytocoenoses occur under different ecological conditions, and frequently representing the climax of edaphoxerophilous series crests siliceous rocky areas. In this paper we study floristic, ecological, biogeographical differences southwestern Iberian Peninsula, included in Querco rotundifoliae-Oleenion sylvestris suballiance. Our phytosociological (Braun–Blanq...
