To ascertain the possibility of using branchwood, trunkwood, and rootwood Betula platyphylla Roth. in papermaking, this study investigated tissue proportion, fiber features, major chemical components whole-tree wood tree species. Analysis variance (ANOVA) indicated that had a significantly lower density vessel higher ray wider lumen, thicker wall than trunkwood branchwood (p <0.05). The shorter smaller length/width longer narrower fibers with thinner cellulose, but hemicelluloses...
Abstract Karst tiankengs are rare natural habitats, having a local microclimate different from surrounding regions. A contrast study on plant communities at the inside and outside of primitive tiankeng was carried out by performing qualitative analysis species compositions arborous shrub layers. We found that in belong to subtropical moist evergreen broad-leaf forest, whereas those semi-moist needle-broadleaved mixed forest. Trapped habitat karst protects significantly external ecosystems,...
Tidal wetland plants can maintain high primary productivity under salinization, even with low phosphorus (P) availability. However, little is known about how they adapt to salinization-induced ecosystem P limitation over time. We established mesocosms using tidal freshwater soils and the salt-tolerant plant Cyperus malaccensis subjected them short-term (6 months) long-term (3.5 years) salinization. Overall, salinization did not change or microbial biomass nitrogen/P ratios, whereas increased...
Wood can store carbon and help mitigate global climate change. Carbon density (CD), the basis for measuring analyzing C storage, is product of wood (WD) concentration, which are dependent on structure, cellulose concentration (CC), hemicellulose (HC), lignin (LC). However, little attention has been paid to cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, fundamental factors in storage affect credibility accurate CD estimates. In order disentangle drives, WD, CC, HC, LC branch, stem, root were quantified...
Abstract The abandoned pond‐to‐mangrove restoration project provides greater advantages than tidal flats afforestation in restoring mangrove ecosystem services and will be the primary method for future. existing methods include artificial through ‘dike‐breaking, filling with imported soil tree planting’ natural ‘dike‐breaking succession’. However, little is known about which strategy (natural or restoration) more benefits to biodiversity of macrobethos. Given a prevailing view suggested that...
Karst tiankengs, as one of the most magnificent negative topographies, are capable forming a bank for species diversity conservation easily. More than 300 karst tiankengs have been discovered and identified worldwide. Given its treacherous terrain, although original tiankeng were refuges, broader distribution degraded has not systematically studied. Our study area comprised cluster immersed in fragmented forests Yunnan, China. Fifty-eight plant samples selected from surface. We compared...
In order to determine the possibility of whole-tree wood utilization a native tree species in Northeast China (P. ussuriensis), this study investigated air-dried density and fiber dimensions for each ring branch, stem, root species. The results showed significant differences densities among positions (p <0.05). had highest average (0.596 g/cm3), branch lowest (0.506 g/cm3). exhibited larger fibers than that stem wood. wall (6.038 µm). appeared thinner wood, although difference was not...
To enhance effective wood utilization, knowledge of the anatomical features that impact its service behavior is indispensable. The branchwood and stemwood Betula costata Trautv. from natural secondary forests in central (Muzhaling mountain) northeast (Maoershan China were studied to provide adequate information their efficient especially branchwood, whose use could widen raw material base timber industry. Microtomed sections employed determine tissue dimensions proportions. Analyses variance...
Damaosi is one of original karst tiankengs with underground virgin forest in Yunnan Pro-vince. The spatial point pattern analysis and the woody individual structure parameters, including uniform angle index, mingling degree storey were used to estimate tiankeng's community. We also analyzed intraspecific distribution characteristics interspecific association on basis relative position information plant results showed that community tiankeng was random. Plant species moderately mixed....
Tilia amurensis Rupr. and mandshurica Maxim. are two essential commercial species, though there is surprisingly little concern about whether their branches can be used in the current situation of a wood shortage China. In this study, tissue proportions fiber morphology, physical mechanical properties, chemical composition branchwood were studied compared with stemwood to evaluate potential for papermaking. The showed similar cell arrangement but different morphology. had more than 40%...
Fast-growing poplar (Populus tomentosa Carr) can produce wood veneers, but their poor quality restricts application in construction and building. Modification of has the potential to improve its properties. In this study, veneers were impregnated with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reinforce performance. The results showed that CaCO3 was uniformly distributed cell lumens veneers. After impregnation, maximum weight gain rate up 41.4%, water uptake decreased from 6.82% 0.94%. hardness increased 7.6...
In the negative terrain habitat of karst degraded tiankeng, shady and sunny slopes are dramatically different, which results in substantial variations plant communities. With tiankeng Shenxiantang Zhanyi, Yunnan as an example, we explored functional traits Fagaceae plants slopes, would help reveal value species diversity conservation pool. The showed that soil nutrients slope were more than those slope. Leaf area, specific leaf area dry weight Faga-ceae significantly larger thickness was...
Anatomical characteristics of vessels have a profound impact on the hydraulic conductivity xylem. However, pore shape, cross‐section shape vessel, has been ignored in previous architecture studies. In this study, we examined whether tended to be circular, and variation may affected by water flow path‐length cambial age. The circularity pores Betula platyphylla Roth Quercus mongolica (only earlywood) were analyzed from pith bark along path. It was found that although there very few with...
