The article addresses practical aspects of applying the spectroscopy in near infrared region method when conducting forensic examinations wood. Based on obtained results, it has been concluded that NIR spectra can be used as an informative indicator to determine species woody plants, well track origin timber and detect facts illegal logging. authors demonstrate possibility interpreting spectral...

the expanding phenomenon of dieback is caused by the reaction of trees against the harmful biotic and a biotic factor that lead to dying of shoots and branches of trees from upper crown to lower crown. this phenomenon spreads throughout the leaves and branches and all parts of the plant and may finally lead to the death of the plant. this study aimed to identify species dieback especially carpi...

Studying regeneration processes in oak-dominated forests requires a multi-faceted approach that considers local factors, disturbances, management actions, and tree responses. Our aims were to quantify the carbon water-use responses of saplings evaluate ecological consequences at early phase pedunculate oak-hornbeam forest. We measured plant eco-physiological parameters using an open-chamber IRG...

Estimating the diameter increment of forests is one most important relationships in forest management and planning. The aim this study was to provide insight into application two machine learning methods, i.e., multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP) adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), for developing models Hyrcanian forests. For purpose, diameters at breast height (DBH...

Members of Ganoderma genus, belong to Basidiomycota, such as Ganoderma applanatum and Ganoderma lucidum have been noticed in traditional and modern medicine and pharmacology for their medicinal properties and bioactive compounds. The present study is undertaken to determine whether there is difference between chemical properties of G. applanatum and G. lucidum. The fresh mature fruiting bodies ...

How different functional responses of consumers exploiting pulsed resources affect community dynamics is an ongoing question in ecology. Tree masting is a common resource pulse in terrestrial ecosystems that can drive rodent population cycles. Using stable isotope (δ(13)C, δ(15)N) analyses, we investigated the dietary response of two fluctuating rodent species, the yellow-necked mouse Apodemus ...

This study aims to determine some morphological characteristics of two-year-old common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) and oriental orientalis Mill.) seedling the quality classes seedlings according Turkish Standards Institute’s (TSI) standards sturdiness quotient values. As a material, seedlings, grown from seed obtained three different altitudes as lower (0-400 m), mid (400-800 m) upper (800-1...
