One of the main challenges using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in forest data acquisition is implementation Ground Control Points (GCPs) as a mandatory step, which sometimes impossible for inaccessible areas or within canopy closures. This study aimed to test accuracy UAV-mounted GNSS RTK (real-time kinematic) system calculating tree height and crown without any GCPs. The was conducted on Cup...

A new species of conifer was recently discovered in northern Vietnam. In a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of morphological data a possible sister species, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach, was identified; however, because of the presumed phylogenetic remoteness of these two species to the remainder of the Cupressaceae, a new genus-Xanthocyparis-was described to accommodate both spec...

Abnormal' cones found irt Cupressus sempervirens include bisexual cones and double female and male cones. They are very infrequent, but there are individual trees ~th a tendency· to produce· ~\Jch cones. We, suggest that these cones reflect changes in normal hohnonal balance. keY, words: Cupressus sempervirens, bisexilal con~s, cones.

Phylogenetic comparisons of three nuclear DNA gene regions (nrDNA(ITS), 4-coumarate: CoA ligase, abscisic acid-insensitive 3) and a chloroplast region (petN-psbM) show that the Western Hemisphere cypresses (Hesperocyparis) is a well-supported clade quite separated from the Eastern Hemisphere cypresses (Cupressus). Based on these new data and previous data, a new genus, Hesperocyparis, is erecte...

the effect of soxhlet and simple immersion extraction methods on the amount and type of bioactive phenolic compounds of c. arizonica woodknots were studied. lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds were soxhlet extracted according to t280 pm-99 standard method with hexane and acetone solvents, respectively.  also, in the immersion method woodknot samples were dipped in hexane to remove the lipophil...
