This study examined branch diameter, number of whorls, and branches in the lower 2 m stems white spruce growing pure stands mixture with a range densities trembling aspen. Data were collected from two sites located north Big River Saskatchewan, which regenerated following clearcutting 1992 thinned 1996 to five aspen densities. Results show significant decreases diameter at breast height (DBH), ...

to investigate effect of calcium and growth medium on lilium (asiatic hybrid lilium bulbs “tresor” cultivar) and nutrients uptake, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted by three levels of calcium in nutrient solution (2, 4 and 6 mm*) and five growth media (100% perlite, 70% perlite + 30% cocopeat, 50% perlite + 50% cocopeat, 30% perlite + 70% cocopeat, 100% ...

the aim of the present study is to assess the effect of pure and mixed plantations of eastern cottonwood (populus deltoides) and alder (alnus subcordata) on quantitative stand characteristics and soil properties. the experiment was established in 1994 using randomized block design with five treatments (1- p100%, 2- p67%-a33%, 3- p50%-a50%, 4- p33%-a67%, and 5- a100%) and four replicates in cham...

Height–diameter relationships based on stand characteristics (trees/ha, basal area, and dominant stand height) were investigated for balsam fir, balsam poplar, black spruce, jack pine, red pine, trembling aspen, white birch, and white spruce using data from permanent growth study plots in northern Ontario, Canada. Approximately half the data were used to estimate model parameters with the rest ...

Methods for accurately measuring biophysical parameters are a key component for quantitative evaluation regarding to various forest applications. Conventional in situ measurements of these parameters take time and expense, encountering difficultness at locations with heterogeneous microtopography. To obtain precise biophysical data in such situations, we deployed an unmanned aerial system (UAS)...
