To identify why tree growth differs by afforestation type is a matter of prime concern in forestry. A study was conducted to determine why oriental arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis) grows better in the presence of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) than in monoculture. Different types of stands (i.e., monocultures and mixture of black locust and oriental arborvitae, and native grassland as a...

Viscum album L. is a semiparasitic plant grown on trees and widely used for the treatment of many diseases in traditional and complementary therapy. It is well known that some activities of Viscum album extracts are varied depending on the host trees, such as antioxidant, apoptosis-inducing, anticancer activities of the plant. The aim of the present study is to examine the comparative effects o...

the nutritive values of honey locust pods obtained from different growing sites were evaluated by chemical composition and in vitro gas production techniques. growing site was found to have a significant (p< 0.001) effect on the chemical composition. the cp contents of honey locust pods ranged from 67.2 to 119.9 g kg-1 dm. water soluble carbohydrate (wsc) ranged from 122.3 to 152.2 g kg-1 dm. n...

Preliminary investigation on antioxidative potentials of defatted fermented locust bean extract in comparison to defatted non-fermented locust bean was conducted. Qualitative antioxidative assessment on the extract was accomplished by screening the phytochemical endowment, and similar bioactive components. Also some antioxidative indices were quantitatively evaluated. Results showed that the de...
