Radial increment objectively reflects the quality of assimilation apparatus a woody plant. Its features indicate influence various anthropogenic, biotic and abiotic factors as well stability plant under stress. The aim this study was to survey long-term dynamics radial growth six tree species: Betula pendula, Ulmus glabra, Quercus robur, Tilia cordata, Picea abies Pinus silvestris, depending on...

A number of recent studies have shown reduced individual-tree growth throughout the 1970s and early 1980s in natural loblolly pine (Pinus raeda L.) stands in the southeastern United States. This study updates radial growth trends of loblolly pine in the Virginia Coastal Plain through 1989. Ring-width series were initially grouped into two age-classes (~50 or 150 years) and a clustering procedur...

Abstract Low mortality rates and slow growth differentiate shade-tolerant from shade-intolerant species define the survival strategy of juvenile trees growing in deep shade. While radial stem has been widely used to explain trees, leaf area ratio (LAR), known be a key component shade tolerance, neglected so far. We assessed effects LAR, tree height on time age-specific rate Fagus sylvatica L. (...

We examined the relationship among ambient and manipulated precipitation, wood chemistry, and their relationship with radial growth for two oak species in eastern Tennessee. The study took place on the Walker Branch Throughfall Displacement Experiment (TDE) site, located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN. Two dominant species, white oak (Quercus alba) and chestnut oak (Querc...

pruning of the plant canopy and paclobutrazol application to the root zone are agronomic practices that improve harvest yield in mango (mangifera indica l.) orchards. to assess the effect of pruning and paclobutrazol treatment on the vegetative and reproductive development of ‘ataulfo’ mango, three pruning dates (20 april, 20 may, and 20 june) and three concentrations of paclobutrazol (pbz) (7....

SUMMARY Treevolution is a tool for the representation and exploration of phylogenetic trees that facilitates visual analysis. There are several useful tools to visualize phylogenetic trees, but their level of interaction is usually low, especially in the case of radial representations. Highly interactive visualizations can improve the exploration and understanding of phylogenetic trees. Treevol...
