This paper presents results concerning climatic conditions affecting diameter growth of Sitka spruce introduced to Baltic Pomerania (Sławno Forest District). A relatively high homogeneity of tree-ring series permitted to construct on their basis the tree-ring chronology of Sitka spruce. A significant positive correlation was found between radial increments of Sitka spruce and air temperatures o...

water stress effects on winter and spring leaves anatomy were investigated in experiments conducted at the experimental field of sb university of kerman using five wheat cultivars.xylem and phloem elements diameter and mesophyll, bundle sheath and epidermal cells area were measured in transverse sections prepared from middle parts of the leaves. results showed that significant difference exists...

This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of crop rotation and various tillage systems onthe chemical and biological properties of soil in the years 2013-2015. The first order factorincluded cropping systems: a) crop rotation (pea – winter wheat – spring wheat) and b)monoculture of winter wheat, whereas the second order factor were tillage systems:1) conventional (CT), 2) reduced (RT) and 3...

Although the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) is a widely used indicator of plant nitrogenstatus, no model of NNI calculation for spring barley (Hordeum vulgare) reflecting also specificmalting requirements on grain has been published. The aim of this study was to determinean optimal range of the nitrogen nutrition index (ratio of nitrogen concentration in shootbiomass to critical nitrogen concen...

data. Although there were some differences they concluded: “Because onset and end dates of the growing season were averaged over the entire Tibetan Plateau, the temporal resolution of the data was deemed sufficiently high for detailed analysis.” So they tested whether winter warming might affect the plants’ chilling requirements in this cold, highaltitude environment. They determined the beginn...

Primiparous beef cows produced in 3 calving systems were used in a 2-yr study with a completely random design to measure milk yield throughout a 190-d lactation (2002, n = 20; 2003, n = 24 per calving system). Calving occurred in late winter (average calving date = February 4 +/- 2 d), early spring (average calving date = March 30 +/- 2 d), and late spring (average calving date = May 26 +/- 1 d...

the seeds of three eucalyptus species (myrtaceae) (origin: australia), including:, eucalyptus loxophleba benth., eucalyptus microtheca f.muell.  and eucalyptus largiflorens f.muell. were cultivated in 1993-1994 at two research stations (shushtar and dezful) in khuzistan province (western south region of iran) and a research station (kashan) in isfahan province (central region of iran). these sp...
