The importance of soil factors to the establishment of tree crops is well recognized by forest soil scientists and foresters. It has, however, been overlooked by far too many foresters responsible for major forestation projects. The soil factors found to be significant in the establishment of both planted stock and seedlings from natural or artificial seedf all are: texture and structure charac...

In order to overcome the low diagnostic accuracy of traditional blast visual defects, set cold rice blast for example, four data groups has been acquainted through near infrared spectroscopy, the first group is healthy and diseased planting stock; the second group is three diseased levels of leaf blast; the third group is five diseased levels of grain blast; the forth group is four diseased lev...

Rapid establishment of closed canopy cover is a key goal in land reclamation. While re-establishment understory vegetation likely to positively contribute this goal, native herbaceous species are not typically planted on reclaimed sites though it an alternative reliance natural regeneration. The objective the present study was test principle hitchhiker production tree with recently industrial a...

The growth of outplanted high-quality 1-0 northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) seedlings, growth differences between two categories of visually graded seedlings and herbivory by white-tail deer (Odocoileus virginianus (Boddaert)) were examined after two growing seasons. Seedlings were planted in plots receiving three overstory treatments (high grade, commercial clearcut, and two age) and an uncu...

For the evaluation of changes in the carbon stock of living biomass, two methods are reported in the Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry: (1) the default method, which requires the biomass carbon loss to be subtracted from the biomass carbon increment for the reporting year; and (2) the stock change method, which requires two consecutive biomass carbon stock inven...
