The recent Landscape Plan of Tuscany Region pays particular attention towards the floodplain woods, for their conservation concern, landscape, and historical importance. forest vegetation is defined as natural semi-natural wood located close to rivers submerged only during exceptional flooding. We gathered 180 both published unpublished relevés coming from carried out in where Alnus glutinosa ,...

Abstract Plants growing on karst soils, which are characterized by high pH (>7.5–8.0) and low phosphorus availability, often exhibit deficiency. However, little is known about the soil nutrient availabilities foliar concentrations of trees in ecosystems with lower (<7.0). In this study, we analyzed properties leaf litter from two secondary forests Asian monsoon temperate region Japan, one...

Abstract Tree allometry is a plastic feature, and scaling parameters can vary considerably depending on phylogeny, life strategies, growth conditions ontogeny. We hypothesized that in multi-layered forests growing rich sites driven by stand dynamics without stand-replacing disturbances, light primary driver of allometric relationships the morphological plasticity tree species closely associated...
