The aim of this paper is to analyze the mechanical properties Robinia pseudoacacia L. (black locust), Platanus × hybrida Brot. (London plane), Ulmus pumila (Siberian elm), and Populus alba (white poplar), estimated using ultrasound wave equipment (USLab y Sylvatest Duo) impact (Microsecond Timer) on standing trees, felled logs specimens obtained from different parts trees. Bending strength, axi...

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...

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...
