Sound Propagation through Forests and Tree Belts

نویسنده

  • K Attenborough
چکیده

The potential of forests or narrow belts of trees alongside surface transport corridors for reducing noise is often dismissed. Partly this is a consequence of conflicting experimental evidence. But also it is the result of incomplete understanding of the various attenuation mechanisms involved and, therefore, of how they could be exploited and used together in tree planting schemes. First experimental evidence supporting the use of forests or tree belts for noise abatement is presented. Subsequently the principal attenuation mechanisms and models for them are reviewed and resulting predictions are compared with data. Finally numerical simulations showing the potential for traffic noise reduction by narrow tree belts are outlined.

Micro Propagation of Eucalyptus globules Through Mature Trees

Eucalyptus globulus is an important rapid-growing trees in Eucalypts that applied for agroforestry and tree improvement programs. It has been used as a source of pulp in paper industry, essential oil and honey production. Asexual propagation with conventional methods such as cutting and graft wasnot possible or obtained success was very low, because of hard proliferation of adventitious roots. ...

A comparison of species composition and community assemblage of secondary forests between the birch and pine-oak belts in the mid-altitude zone of the Qinling Mountains, China.

The mid-altitude zone of the Qinling Mountains in China was once dominated by birch and pine-oak belts but are now mainly covered by secondary growth following large-scale deforestation. Assessing the recovery and sustainability of these forests is essential for their management and restoration. We investigated and compared the tree species composition and community assemblages of secondary for...
