Impacts of tree canopy structure on wind flows and fire propagation simulated with FIRETEC

Introduction   

Forest fuel management in the context of fire prevention generally induces heterogeneous spatial patterns of vegetation. However, the impact of the canopy structure on both wind flows and fire behavior is not well understood.  相似文献

Spatio-temporal heterogeneity effects on seedling growth and establishment in four <Emphasis Type="Italic">Quercus</Emphasis> species

Introduction   

The great spatial and temporal heterogeneity of Mediterranean ecosystems can influence establishment success in woody species, whose natural regeneration occurs to a very small extent. In this work, the effect of the spatial pattern of environmental variables (light availability, soil moisture and herbaceous production) on seedling emergence, growth, survival and establishment success was examined by using a spatially explicit approach.  相似文献   

Ectomycorrhizal communities in a Mediterranean forest ecosystem dominated by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Quercus ilex</Emphasis>: seasonal dynamics and response to drought in the surface organic horizon

• Introduction   

Millions of hectares of Quercus ilex forests dominate disturbed landscapes in the western part of the Mediterranean basin. Although these forests are very widespread, little is known about the composition and structure of their associated ectomycorrhizal fungal communities.  相似文献   

Allocation of varietal testing efforts for implementing conifer multi-varietal forestry using white spruce as a model species

• Introduction   

Multi-varietal forestry (MVF) is the deployment of tested tree varieties in plantation forestry. Computer simulation using POPSIM Simulator identified optimal combination of numbers of families, varieties per family and ramets per variety (nf, nc and nr, respectively) yielding the largest genetic gain for a specific status number (NS) in a varietal test (VT) intended for MVF of conifers.  相似文献   

Variation in fibre properties of cultivated Siberian larch (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Larix sibirica</Emphasis> Ledeb.) in relation to radial and axial locations in the trunk     

Katri Luostarinen 《Annals of Forest Science》2011,68(5):985-992

Introduction  

As the major resources of Siberian larch planted in Finland will be at a harvestable age in the near future, knowledge concerning wood and fibre properties of cultivated larches is needed. The properties affect both the character of pulp and paper, as well as properties important in the structural usage.  相似文献

The relative importance of dispersal limitation and habitat preference in shaping spatial distribution of saplings in a tropical moist forest: a case study along a combination of hydromorphic and canopy disturbance gradients

• Introduction   

Various processes contribute to shaping the local assemblage of species in hyperdiverse tropical forest. The relative contribution of environmental factors and dispersal limitation in determining the spatial distribution of saplings at local scale is unclear.  相似文献   

Age determination of large live trees with inner cavities: radiocarbon dating of Platland tree,a giant African baobab

• Introduction   

For large trees without a continuous sequence of growth rings in their trunk, such as the African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.), the only accurate method for age determination is radiocarbon dating. As of today, this method was limited to dating samples collected from the remains of dead specimens.  相似文献   

What factors influence the stem taper of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus</Emphasis>: growth,environmental conditions,or genetics?

• Introduction   

Stem taper equations have been widely used for volume estimation to varied top diameter limits or for biomass calculations. However, their main drawback is that specific calibration is often necessary for each species or clone, and accounting for genetic and environmental effects is often a challenge.  相似文献
