Recent studies have shown that, in some species, xylem hydraulic conductivity (K(h)) increases with increasing cation concentration of xylem sap. Evidence indicates that K(h) increases as a result of the de-swelling of pit membrane pectins caused by cation neutralization of polygalacturonanes. We tested whether this ionic effect partly compensates for the embolism-induced loss of stem hydraulic...

Field experiment was carried out at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Agricultural University Peshawar, during 2009 to study “the response of plane tree cuttings to different planting dates”. Three types of cuttings (hardwood cuttings, semi-hardwood cuttings, Softwood cuttings) and three dates (6 January, 21 January and 5 February) were studied. The experim...

With this study, Cataldag province extending at the provincial borders of Balıkesir and Bursa, field studies were performed 11 different study areas per three weeks using pitfall traps window with old hollow seven original forest tree species (Alnus glutinosa, Carpinus betulus, Platanus orientalis, Fagus Quercus petreae, Q. cerris, cerris x infectoria) in between April November months during 20...

The purpose of this study was to present an application the artificial neural network (ANN) that predicts bonding strength glulam manufactured from plane tree (Platanus orientalis L.) wood layers adhered with a combination modified starch adhesive and UF resin. Bonding measured at different weight ratios containing values nano-zinc oxide as additive under conditions press temperature time. As p...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect raw (RawBC) and iron (Fe)-modified biochar (FeBC) derived from Platanus orientalis Linn branches on plant growth, enzyme activity, bioavailability uptake As, Cd, Pb by rice in a paddy soil with continuously flooded (CF) or alternately wet dry (AWD) irrigation pot experiment. Application RawBC (3%, w/w) significantly increased pH, while FeBC decre...

Günümüzde, insanların rekreasyonel ihtiyaçlarının artması farklı aktivite alanlarını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu ihtiyaçların karşılanması anlamında kentsel açık-yeşil alanlar en önemli arasındadır. Ancak birçok kentte nitelik ve nicelik bakımından yetersiz olan aktif yeşil kullanıcıların beklentisini karşılayacak hizmet kalitesini sergileyememektedir. çalışmanın amacı, Isparta’nın yeni yerl...
