— In an andesitic dystrochrept clay forest soil, the effect of a different number passes rubber-tyred skidder on bulk density, total porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity was studied.Soil samples were taken in undisturbed areas, under skid trails with 1, 2, 3, 5 10 machine passes.Most compaction occurred after initial few passes, but density also in- creased significantly more than 3 passes.Increases still important at maximum sampling depth 20 cm.Total decreased for all...
Accurate quantification of total forest biomass requires sound estimates root biomass. Because roots are challenging to measure in situ, data sparse, and this has limited our understanding allocation across a range types. Increased sampling the oceanic cool temperate forests southern hemisphere means we now able better understand biome. Here compile systematically review root:shoot ratios for these examine taxonomic, regional, environmental determinants variability roots. Specifically,...
Aim of the study: The aim this study is to provide information on species-specific basic wood density (g cm-3) and moisture content (%) in Mediterranean shrublands. Area covers two sites sclerophyllous shrubland central Chile, Cortaderal (34°35’S 71°29’W) Miraflores (34°08’S 70°37’W), characterized by different climatic topographic conditions. Material methods: sampling area 4,000 m2 over four plots at sites. Shrub species were identified size-related attributes such as height crown size...
