to understand the compatibility of xylem with dry climates, wood anatomy similarities anddifferences of four shrubs were investigated in dry and cold region of sarab (azarbaijan sharghiprovince). these shrubs were: pteropyrum olivieri, rosa canina, tamarix gallica, and rhamnuspallasii, while the wood anatomy of pteropyrum sp. is reported for the first time, in this research.after preparing micr...

Improved representations of snow processes in vegetation canopies and snow hydrology are implemented in the Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme 2 (MOSES 2) land-surface model. Snow falling on forests is partitioned between interception and throughfall; the intercepted snow is removed by sublimation, melt and unloading. A reduction in sublimation of wind-blown snow through trapping by shrubs is s...

Abstract In the course of research, authors analyzed results introduction shrub plants different taxonomic groups in conditions Central Black Earth Region. Most representatives collections under consideration (a collection deciduous shrubs, a ornamental coniferous shrubs) showed significant adaptive capabilities region consideration. Recommendations on possibility using introduced shrubs green ...

knowledge of the physiological characteristic of tree and shrubs species and their adaptability to environmental factors is an important issue in species selecting for tree planting projects in water scarcity regions. therefore, this investigation try to examine the chlorophyll content and stomatal conductivity in various species of trees and shrubs. the effects of environmental factors are als...

metaphycus bogdanovikatkovi myartseva is recorded here for the first time from iran. this species is reared on rhizopulvinaria sp. (hem.: coccidae) on wild almond shrubs in darab region, fars province of iran.

This study investigates people's preconceptions of green roofs and their visual preference for different green roof design alternatives in relation to behavioral, social and demographical variables. The investigation was performed as a visual preference study using digital images created to represent eight different alternatives: gravel roof, extensive green roof with Sedums not in flower, exte...

Introduction Outcomes attributable to the research funded through the 2005 NCPPT grant can be summarized as follows: 1) Protocols for the detection of archaeological sites through the analysis of commercially available synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral images. Previously existing protocols for site detection through image analysis had utilized images generated from synthetic aper...

Introduction For a scientist, my title may seem a little sensationalist in tone. This is deliberate to draw attention to my issue. And here’s the issue. About six years ago the previously unknown invasive pathogen P. ramorum sp. nov. was found spreading on trees and shrubs in North America and Europe. Almost simultaneously in the U.K. we found another previously unknown invasive Phytophthora on...

Few studies have examined how below-ground interactions among plants affect the abundance and community composition of symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. Here, we combined observations during drought with a removal experiment to examine the effects of below-ground interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) shrubs on the growth of pinyon pines (Pinus edulis), and the abundance and community composi...
