Tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) are widely recognized in Europe as a strategy to enhance biodiversity plantation forests. Selective cutting, common forest management practice, helps maintain structure and ecological integrity while balancing economic needs. This study investigates the short-term effects of selective cutting on TreMs Cryptomeria japonica plantations. We selected three 0.1 ha square plots within C. Xitou, managed by Experimental Forest National Taiwan University, conducted...
Extreme climate events pose a potential threat to the forest structure stability, triggering tree growth release (GR) and possible shifts in social status. This study used dendrochronological approach investigate changes competition 100-year-old Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) plantation at JinGangZuan site, managed by Experimental Forest of National Taiwan University. Tree-ring data was reconstruct historical GR explored relationship between maximum wind speed. In addition, we...
In seeds with deep simple epicotyl morphophysiological dormancy, warm and cold stratification are required to break dormancy of the radicle shoot, respectively. Although shoot remains inside seed all winter, little is known about its growth morphological development prior emergence in spring. The aims present study were determine temperature requirements for Viburnum betulifolium V. parvifolium monitor epicotyl, plumule cotyledons root-emerged seeds.Fresh pre-treated incubated under various...
Abstract The red imported fire ant (RIFA) is one of the most detrimental invasive species, threatening native ecosystems, human health and economic activities worldwide. In quarantine zone Taiwan, RIFA re‐infestation frequently occurs despite intensive application synthetic pesticides, making its control costly ineffective. Thus, there an urgent need to identify eco‐friendly sustainable alternatives for controlling populations. This study examined efficacy feasibility planting herbal species...
The biting midge, Forcipomyia taiwana, is one of the most annoying blood-sucking pests in Taiwan. Current chemical control methods only target adult, not immature stages (egg to pupa), F. taiwana. Discovering new or alternative tactics enhance replace existing are urgently needed improve effectiveness taiwana control. egg least understood life stage this pest species but may offer a novel point as addition NaCl environment inhibits development. Thus, objective study was use RNA profiling...
