The allometric relationships between mean weights of components, such as stems, branches and leaves and tree weight as well
as their time-trajectories, were studied with data of self-thinning Pinus densiflora stands with different densities. The allometric relationships existed between the weights of stems, branches and leaves and
the tree weight during the course of self-thinning. The stem weight ratio increased with increasing tree weight because the
allometric coefficient in stem was higher than unity, whereas the branch weight ratio and the leaf weight ratio decreased
because the allometric coefficients in branches and leaves were less than unity. An allometric power relationship existed
between mean component weight and mean tree weight during the course of self-thinning. The time-trajectory of mean component
weight (w
o) and density (ρ) in the early growth stage was expressed as a mathematical model which incorporates the allometric power
relationship into the Tadaki’s model, whereas the model for describing w
o-ρ trajectory in the later growth stage was derived by combining the allometric power relationship with 3/2 power law. The
two models, Tadaki’s model and 3/2 power law, showed a good fit to data from P. densiflora stands. The time-trajectories of mean tree weight (w)-density (ρ) or w
o-ρ initially almost moves nearly vertically in the low-density stand, moves along a steep curve and an inclined curve in the
medium- and high-density stands, respectively, and gradually approaches self-thinning line in the early stage of stand development,
whereas they reached and moved along the self-thinning line in the later stage of stand development. The self-thinning exponents
were determined to be 1.71, 1.19 and 1.13 for the trees, 2.38, 1.33 and 1.20 for the stem, 3.16, 1.55 and 1.46 for the branches,
2.66, 1.39 and 1.35 for the leaves in the low-, medium- and high-density stands, respectively. The 3/2 power law of self-thinning
is derived on the basis of simple geometric model of space occupation by growing trees, but allometric growth of tree and
components can make the slope of the self-thinning line being different from −3/2. The reasons that the self-thinning exponents
of components in the low-density stand were greater than those in the medium- and high-density stands were discussed. 相似文献

Agroforestry systems based on poplar (Populus deltoides) are becoming popular in eastern and northern parts of India. Therefore studies on the structure and function of the systems
are important. The investigations included allometric equations for above- and belowground tree components, crop and plantation
floor biomass and litter fall estimation at Pusa, Bihar, India. Biomass, floor litter mass, litter fall and net primary productivity
(NPP) of plantations increased with an increase in age of trees whereas, crop biomass for any specific crop interplanted with
poplar decreased with the age of the plantation. The total plantation biomass increased from 12.08 to 90.59 Mg ha−1 and NPP varied from 5.69 to 27.9 Mg ha−1 year−1. The biomass accumulation ratio ranged from 2.1 to 3.2. Total annual litter fall was in between 1.95 and 10.00 Mg ha−1 year−1, of which 92–94% was contributed by leaf litter. Compartmental models were developed for dry matter distribution in agroforestry
systems involving young (3-year-old) and mature (9-year-old) poplar trees interplanted with various crops, the crops being
grown in two rotations maize (Zea mays) – wheat (Triticum aestivum) – turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) – turmeric. This study substantiates the potential of Populus deltoides G3 under agroforestry combinations. 相似文献

The insecticidal activity of an entomopathogenic fungus, Isaria farinosa on pine bark-weevil (Pissodes punctatus) at different life stages underwent laboratory testing. Larvae, pupae and adults of Pissodes punctatus were exposed to a range of concentrations of fungal conidia in suspension for 5 s; mean mortality and LC50 values were calculated. The results showed I. farinosa can effectively infect larvae, pupae and adult pine bark-weevils, and the highest mean mortalities at each life stage can
exceed 88%. The mean mortalities increased with higher concentrations of I. farinosa. Larvae were most susceptible with LC50 1.2 × 106 conidia ml−1 (15 days), pupae (30 days) exhibited the second largest effects, and adults (15 days) with LC50 1.72 × 106 and 1.99 × 106 conidia ml−1, respectively, at end of the experiments. This suggests that I. farinosa could be a potential bio-control agent against the pine bark-weevil. 相似文献

A dramatic decline in forest cover in eastern Africa along with a growing population means that timber and poles for building
and fuelwood are in short supply. To overcome this shortage, the region is increasingly turning to eucalyptus. But eucalyptus
raises environmental concerns of its own. Fears that it will deplete water supply, affect wildlife and reduce associated crop
yields have caused many countries in the region to discourage farmers from planting this exotic. This paper is part of a series
of investigations on the growth and water use efficiency of faster growing eucalyptus hybrids, which was introduced from South
Africa to Kenya. The hypothesis is that the new hybrids are more efficient in using water and more suitable for the semi-arid
tropics than existing eucalyptus and two popular agroforestry species. Gas exchange characteristics of juvenile Eucalyptus grandis (W. Hill ex Maiden), two eucalyptus hybrids (E. grandis × Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh.), Grevillea robusta (A. Cunn) and Cordia africana (Lam) was studied under field and pot conditions using an infrared gas analyzer was used to measure photosynthetic active
radiation (PAR), net photosynthetic rate (A), stomatal conductance (g
s) and transpiration rate (E) at CO2 concentrations of 360 μmol mol−1 and ambient humidity and temperature. A, E and g
s varied between species, being highest in eucalyptus hybrid GC 15 (24.6 μmol m−2 s−1) compared to eucalyptus hybrid GC 584 (21.0 μmol m−2 s−1), E. grandis (19.2 μmol m−2 s−1), C. africana (17.7 μmol m−2 s−1) and G. robusta (11.1 μmol m−2 s−1). C. africana exhibited high E values (7.0 mmol m−2 s−1) at optimal soil moisture contents than G. robusta (3.9 mmol m−2 s−1) and eucalyptus (5.3 mmol m−2 s−1) in field experiment and G. robusta (3.2 mmol m−2 s−1) and eucalyptus (4.2 mmol m−2 s−1) in pot-grown trees. At very low soil moisture content, extremely small g
s values were recorded in GC 15 and E. grandis (8 mmol m−2 s−1) and G. robusta (14 mmol m−2 s−1) compared to GC 584 (46.9 mmol m−2 s−1) and C. africana (90.0 mmol m−2 s−1) indicating strong stomatal control by the species. Instantaneous water use efficiency ranged between 3 and 5 μmol mmol−1 and generally decreased with decline in soil moisture in pot-grown trees but increased with declining soil moisture in field-grown
trees. 相似文献

• We studied the differences in branch characteristics along the stems of six different genetic entries of 20 year old Scots
pines (Pinus sylvestris L.) grown at different spacing (current stand density range 2000–4000 trees ha−1) in central Finland. Furthermore, we studied the phenotypic correlations between yield, wood density traits and branch characteristics.
All the genetic entries had Kanerva pine (plus tree S1101) as a father tree, whereas the mother tree represented Finnish plus
trees from southern, central and northern Finland. 相似文献

A bark beetle (Ips typographus) infestation caused the death of almost all Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees in a mountain forest in the Swiss Alps. We developed a tree regeneration model, ‘RegSnag’ (=REGeneration in a SNAG stand), to project the future amount and height of tree regeneration in these snag stands. The model combines a height-class structured tree module with a microsite-based module of snag decay and ground-vegetation succession. Microsite-specific rates of germination, mortality and height growth were modelled for four tree species (Picea abies, Sorbus aucuparia, Acer pseudoplatanus and Betula pendula) in eight height classes (from seedlings to saplings 5 m tall) and on 26 microsite types (e.g. moss, grass). Model tests with independent field data from 8 years after the Picea die-back demonstrated that microsites had a considerable effect on the development of tree regeneration on both the montane and the subalpine level. With microsite-specific parameters, the height and frequency of Picea in each microsite could be simulated more accurately than without considering microsite effects (e.g. bias of 8 vs. 119 saplings ha−1 on the montane level). Results of simulations 40 years into the future suggest that about 330–930 Picea saplings per ha out of those that germinated in 1994 and 1996 will reach a height of 5 m within 30–35 years after Picea die-back. This is due to differences in seed inflow and browsing intensities. Picea and not Betula or Sorbus trees will replace the current herbaceous vegetation in these snag stands. 相似文献

I investigated the relationships between stem surface area outside bark and other stem dimensions for Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) and Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Endl.) trees. The stem dimensions used here were the basal area and the product of diameter at breast height (dbh) and total tree height. The regression equation of the stem surface area s against basal area g was s = 184.216g for the cedar trees and s = 156.878g for the cypress trees. The slope of the equation was significantly different between the two species. For the same dbh, the cedar trees tended to have a higher total tree height than the cypress trees. The cedar trees also had a larger surface area of relative stem form than the cypress trees. These results indicated that the difference in the slope was produced by the differences in both the stem slenderness and tapering between the two species. On the other hand, the regression equation between the stem surface area and the product of dbh and total tree height dh was s = 1.937dh for the cedar trees and s = 1.921dh for the cypress trees, whereas no significant difference in the slope was found. The obtained slopes for the cedar and cypress trees seemed to be in accord with that for other coniferous species reported in earlier studies, suggesting that the variation in the slope among coniferous species would be small. The estimation from the basal area would provide a simpler means for estimating the stem surface area and would be useful in obtaining an approximation of the surface area. By contrast, the estimation from the product of dbh and total tree height would provide a more accurate and precise estimate as well as a wider applicable range, i.e., a parameter for physiological growth models. In conclusion, it could not be judged which regression equation examined in the present study was superior to the other, and thus it was important to select an appropriate equation depending both on the purpose and on the time and labor available. 相似文献

We derive a two-way volume equation for estimating the apparent culm volume of one of the largest bamboo species, Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel ex Houz. The volume equation was derived from the assumptions that (1) the relative culm form can be expressed by Kunze’s
equation and (2) normal form-factors at two different relative heights are steady at constants independent of culm sizes.
A total number of 200 sample culms were collected from a stand of P. pubescens in Mt. Toshima, Kumamoto Prefecture, western Japan, and were randomly bisected into two sets of data, i.e. modeling and test
data. For the modeling data, normal form-factors at 0.6 and 0.9 in relative height were steady at 0.908 and 0.448, respectively.
The coefficients of the volume equation were determined based on these steady values of the normal form-factors. For the test
data, the apparent culm volume was estimated from diameter at breast height and culm height with the determined volume equation.
The mean error and root mean square error of the estimated culm volume were, respectively, 8.120 × 10−5 and 3.291 × 10−3 m3, and there was no significant difference between estimated and actual volume. In conclusion, the two-way volume equation
presented here appears to be convenient for predicting the apparent culm volume for P. pubescens. 相似文献

The fine root (diameter ≤2.0 mm) biomass and morphology of Japanese red pines (Pinus densiflora) grown under different aboveground conditions (i.e., high and low competitive environments) were examined in a pine–cypress
mixed forest. All P. densiflora subject trees were about 40 years old, and the aboveground condition (i.e., size) of red pines appeared to be influenced
by the surrounding Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa). Smaller P. densiflora exhibited lower fine root biomasses, shorter root lengths, and lower root tip densities, but longer specific root lengths
and higher specific root tip densities relative to larger pines. These results suggest that P. densiflora may adjust the morphological traits of fine roots to the different conditions in biomass allocation to fine roots of individuals
with different aboveground growth. 相似文献

Versatile process-oriented ecosystem models are discussed as promising tools for the analyses of ecosystem services beyond
wood yield, such as catchment water yield, sequestration of carbon and greenhouse gas balances. However, long-term yield simulation
is often regarded as a weakness of such versatile models. In this context, we present a multiple response evaluation of the
modular, process-based forest growth model MoBiLE-PDT based on mensurational data from 38 permanent sample plots in commercial
Eucalyptus globulus plantations in Australia followed from establishment to 8 years of stand age. MoBiLE-PDT is based on the PnET-N-DNDC model
and considers nitrogen availability and drought stress dynamically in dependence on tree and stand properties as well as on
climate and deposition. New tree dimensions are calculated directly from carbon allocated to sapwood and mortality is derived
from stand density. Towards the end of the rotation, model efficiency E was 0.58 for stand volume (m3 ha−1) and 0.54 for aboveground biomass (t C ha−1). In a comparison with similar forest growth models evaluated against the same data only one had a better model efficiency,
whereas MoBiLE-PDT was the most versatile model for the analyses of ecosystem services. Due to its modular structure, further
model extensions for more ecological applications are easily possible. 相似文献

An allometric model of the maximum size–density relationship between mean stem surface area and stand density is proposed,
and is fitted to data for even-aged pure stands of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) and Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Endl.). To derive the model, the biomass density was defined as the ratio of the mean stem surface area to the side area
of an imaginary column, of which radius and height were equal to the radius of the mean area occupied by a tree and mean tree
height, respectively. According to the model, the slope of the maximum size–density relationship on logarithmic coordinates
can be estimated from the allometric power relationships of mean tree height and biomass density to mean stem surface area.
The resulting slope was −1.089 for the cedar and −0.974 for the cypress. The estimated maximum size–density relationship corresponded
well with the combinations of mean stem surface area and stand density for the overcrowded stands of cedar and cypress. The
steeper slope for cedar was attributed to the allocation of more resources to height growth compared to cypress. The maximum
total stem surface area was approximated to be 1.483 ha/ha for cedar and 0.949 ha/ha for cypress stands. The difference in
the maximum total stem surface area between the two species was produced by the characteristics related to tree height and
stem biomass packing into space already occupied. 相似文献

An ambrosia beetle, Platypus quercivorus, is a vector of Japanese oak wilt, which causes massive mortality of oak trees in Japan. Previous studies have identified
(1S,4R)-4-isopropyl-1-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol ((−)-IMCH) as the major component of the aggregation pheromone of P. quercivorus. We tested the ability of synthetic (−)-IMCH to attract P. quercivorus adults. The synthetic compound attracted 14.4 times as many P. quercivorus, of both sexes, as control traps. Control and (−)-IMCH-baited traps both captured 3.32 times as many males as females, probably
because of the nature of Lindgren funnel traps and of male-biased emergence sex ratio early in the season of adult flights.
(−)-IMCH was proved to be a major component of the aggregation pheromone of P. quercivorus. 相似文献

A micropropagation method for Jaal (Salvadora persica)—a tree of arid horticulture and forestry has been developed. Nodal segments of fresh shoot sprouts originated from axillary
buds obtained from a plant around 35–40 years old lopped plant were used as explants for establishment of in vitro cultures.
Surface-sterilized explants produced optimum number of shoots through activation of axillary buds on Murashige and Skoog’s
(MS) medium containing 8.88 μM BA (6-benzyladenine) + additives (25 mgl−1 each of adenine sulphate, arginine, citric acid, 50 mgl−1 ascorbic acid). The shoot multiplication was influenced by the successive transfer of the mother explants for 4–5 passages.
The maximum number (23.1 ± 0.73 shoots per explant) of shoots were regenerated on MS supplemented with 1.11 μM BA + 1.16 μM
Kn (Kinetin) + 0.54 μM NAA (α-naphthalene acetic acid). About 90% shoots pulse-treated with a combination of 2460.27 μM Indole-3-butyric
acid (IBA) + 494.56 μM NOA (2-naphthoxy acetic acid) were rooted ex vitro on soilrite within 15–18 days. Over 80% cloned plantlets
were hardened successfully in a green house and transferred to polybag/pots. 相似文献

The function of an Arabidopsis thaliana gene, At5g54160 annotated as a caffeic acid O-methyltransferase CAOMT gene was characterized. The recombinant enzyme of this gene (AtOMT1) catalyzed the O-methylation of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid substrates. The specificity constants (k
cat/K
m) for 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde (5-HCAld) and quercetin were both 0.11 μM−1·min−1. On the other hand, lignins of At5g54160-knockout Arabidopsis mutants lacked syringyl units. In addition, we showed that the gene silencing also resulted in significant accumulation of
caffeyl alcohol (CaAlc). These results strongly suggested that At5g54160 gene is involved in syringyl lignin synthesis for
the methylation of both 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl compound(s).

Generic equations are proposed for stem, branch and foliage biomass of individual trees in even-aged pure stands of Cryptomeria japonica, Chamaecyparis obtusa and Larix kaempferi. Biomass data was collected from a total of 1,016 individual trees from 247 stands throughout Japan, and five regression
models were assessed by root mean square error, mean bias, fit index (FI), and AIC. The results show that a power equation
using diameter at breast height (dbh) and height is the most suitable for all species and components. This equation is more
accurate than the familiar power equation that uses ‘dbh2 height’, and it expresses the greater volume of branch and foliage mass of trees with a lower height/diameter ratio. A power
equation using dbh is more reasonable for models with dbh as the only independent variable and more accurate than a power
equation using ‘dbh2 height’ for estimating branch and foliage mass. Estimating error for branch and foliage mass is larger than that for stem
mass, but the entire aboveground biomass can be estimated with an error of less than 19%, except in the case of small trees
with dbh less than 10 cm. 相似文献

Nutrient concentrations in plant and soil and their rates of cycling in poplar (Populus deltoides)-based agroforestry systems were studied at Pusa, Bihar, India. The nutrient concentrations in the standing biomass of the
crop were more than those in tree, whereas the nutrient contents showed the reverse trend. Soil, litter and vegetation accounted
for 80.3–99.5, 0.1–5.0 and 0.4–14.7%, respectively, of the total nutrients in the system. Considerable reduction (40–54%)
in concentration of nutrients in leaves occurred during senescence. The uptake of nutrients by vegetation, and also by different
components with and without adjustment for internal recycling, were calculated separately. Annual transfer of litter nutrient
to the soil by vegetation was 37.3–146.2 N, 5.6–17.9 P and 25.0–66.3 K kg ha−1 year−1 in young (3-year-old) and mature (9-year-old) plantations. Turnover rate and time for different nutrients ranged between
0.86–0.99 year−1 and 1.01–1.16 years, respectively. Compartmental models for nutrient dynamics have been developed to represent the distribution
of nutrient contents and net annual fluxes within the system. This study shows that the poplar-based agroforestry system can
be sustainable in terms of soil nutrient status. 相似文献

Root biomass and root distribution were studied in Entisols derived from the thick deposition of volcanic pumice on Hokkaido
Island, Japan, to examine the effect of soil conditions on tree root development. The soil had a thin (<10 cm) A horizon and
thick coarse pumiceous gravel layers with low levels of available nutrients and water. Two stands were studied: a Picea glehnii–Abies sachalinensis stand (PA stand) and a Larix kaempferi–Betula platyphylla var. japonica stand (LB stand). The allometric relationships between diameter at breast height (DBH) and aboveground and belowground biomass
of these species were obtained to estimate stand biomass. The belowground biomass was small: 30.6 Mg ha−1 for the PA stand and 24.3 Mg ha−1 for the LB stand. The trunk/root ratios of study stands were 4.8 for the PA stand and 4.3 for the LB stand, which were higher
than those from previous studies in boreal and temperate forests. All species developed shallow root systems, and fine roots
were spread densely in the shallow A horizon, suggesting that physical obstruction by the pumiceous layers and their low levels
of available water and nutrients restricted downward root elongation. The high trunk/root ratios of the trees may also have
resulted from the limited available rooting space in the study sites. 相似文献

Heartwood extracts from Amazonian trees cumaru-ferro (Dipteryx odorata), jatoba (Hymenaea courbaril), and guarita (Astronium lecointei) exhibit antioxidant activities comparable with that of α-tocopherol, a well-known antioxidant. This article reports the characterization of the antioxidant compounds in the extracts
of the three heartwoods. Silica gel column chromatography of the cumaru-ferro EtOAc extract yielded (−)-(3R)-7,2′,3′-trihydroxy-4′-methoxyisoflavan and (+)-(3R)-8,2′,3′-trihydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyisoflavan. Silica gel column chromatography followed by preparative high-performance liquid
chromatography of the jatoba EtOAc extract yielded (−)-fisetinidol and (+)-trans-taxifolin. Chemical structures were assigned using electron-ionization mass spectrometry, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy including nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), as well as optical
rotation and circular dichroism. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry demonstrated that the isolated compounds were predominant
in the EtOAc extracts. In the guarita EtOAc extract, catechin and gallic acid were identified by comparing their retention
times and mass fragmentation patterns with those of authentic samples. Antioxidant activity determined by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl
assay demonstrated that all these compounds had activities comparable with that of α-tocopherol.

Sap flow density and meteorological variables were monitored in a very dense Acacia melanoxylon stand (about 9,000 trees/ha) in north-western Iberian Peninsula during the growing season of 2006 (from 8 June to 24 August).
Evidences of an increment of stomatal control on transpiration were observed during the study period, probably as a consequence
of higher evaporative demand of the atmosphere. However, high sap flow density values observed for the whole study period
(from 1.14 to 52.73 dm3 dm−2 day−1) were similar than those found for other fast-growing species. Mean transpiration for the whole study period was 2.21 mm day−1, with a maximum value of 3.17 mm day−1 and a minimum of 1.23 mm day−1. Mean sap flow density values were correlated with crown length and crown ratio, relationships being fairly weak with other
dendrometric parameters such as tree diameter or height. Mean transpiration values were correlated with main dendrometric
parameters (diameter at breast height, total height, crown length, sapwood area and leaf biomass). It was found that the degree
of competition per tree could be used as a good index for sap flow density. Taking into account the high tree density of the
stand and the sap flow density values, water consumptions of A. melanoxylon can be very high, playing a relevant role in the hydrological balances of the watersheds where it grows. 相似文献
