This article is a broad review focused on dragon trees—one of the most famous groups trees in world, well known from ancient times. These tertiary relicts are severely endangered area where they grow. The characteristic features tree group described and species belonging to this listed. gathers together current knowledge regarding taxonomy, evolution, anatomy morphology, physiology, ontogeny arborescent species. Attention also paid composition, harvesting, medicinal, ethnobotanical use resin...
The last remaining Dragon Tree Forest on Earth survives a small plateau (Roqeb di Firmihin) in Socotra Island (Yemen). Socotran Dragon’s Blood (Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f.) is endemic to the Archipelago UNESCO World Heritage Site. Being culturally important and endangered tree species, its conservation priority. Despite this, complete inventory of Firmihin Dracaena forest (14.9 km2) has never been attempted before. We applied use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for first time conserving...
Research Highlights: The first model for crown age estimation was developed Dracaena ombet Heuglin ex Kotschy and Peyr. D. draco subsp. caboverdeana Marrero Rodr. R. Almeida. Background Objectives: species are monocotyledon trees without annual tree rings. Most arborescent dragon endangered; thus, it is important to determine the structures of these populations proper conservation management strategies, modelling population trends. For reasons, necessary develop a methodology estimation....
Populations of Dracaena serrulata are disappearing at an alarming rate in the Arabian Peninsula. They being destroyed by herders who use leaves as fodder for camels, goats, and sheep during dry season. Up until now, precise information about current distribution population status D. Oman have not been published. To fill this gap, main aim work was to map species Dhofar Mountains (Oman) define conservation health populations. Three isolated sub-populations study were defined mapped: Jabal...
Knowledge of the quantity woody biomass poplar short-rotation coppice (SRC) on agricultural land is a basic tool for management decisions like rotation length, volume production and financial balance sheet economic activities. The expansion SRC requires fast, reliable, easily applicable cheap method estimating yield, but existing methods are based labour-demanding lengthy measurements all shoots per tree. objective this study was to verify novel rapid estimation that uses averaged attributes...
Detailed, three-dimensional modeling of trees is a new approach in botanical taxonomy. Representations individual are prerequisite for accurate assessments tree growth and morphological metronomy. This study tests the abilities 3D to determine various metrics habit compare differences. The included four species genus Dracaena: D. draco, cinnabari, ombet, serrulata. Forty-nine point clouds were created, their derived compared. Our results indicate possible application dendrological Basic...
