Forest structural diversity is related to stability, biodiversity, adaptability and resilience, as well productivity of forest ecosystems. In this study, we characterized the diverse type groups in southeastern Outer Coastal Plains Mixed Province United States. We utilized data from 13,658 Inventory Analysis (FIA) plots across region classified them on basis group (i.e., longleaf-slash pine, lo...

Mediterranean cypress, an evergreen softwood species, is well-known as Cupressus sempervirens L. var. horizontalis Mill. (Gord). It is an indigenous species of Mediterranean Europe and western Asia, including, Cyprus, Crete, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Caucasian and Iran, resembling the Mediterranean climate (Sabeti, 2004). It is belonged to warming period and interglacial climate. Plant struc...

Sawara cypress [Chamaecyparis pisifera (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl.] is originally from Japan. It was introduced to Europe in the latter half of 19th century (in England and Holland 1861, Poland 1864). The aim this study examine influence climatic conditions on tree-ring width among populations growing Poland. Additionally, other indicators determining growth-climate relationship for studied tre...

An advanced pretreatment method that combines steam treatment (ST) with wet disk milling (WDM) was evaluated using two different species of woods, viz., Hinoki cypress (softwood) and Eucalyptus (hardwood). Bioconversion of the pretreated products was performed using enzymatic saccharification via a commercial cellulase mixture and two types of fermentation processing, i.e., yeast-based simultan...

Background:Antioxidant effects of cypress cones extract have been previously demonstrated. In this study, the protective effect of cypress cones extract was investigated. Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic administrated for the treatment of gram-negative bacteria infections, was used for nephrotoxicity induction. Methods: In this study, 60 wistar male ra...

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)...

Hierarchical decomposition is a fundamental principle that encourages the organization of program elements into nested scopes of access, instead of treating all as “global.” This paper offers a foundational study of heap decomposition inference, the problem of statically extracting the decomposition hierarchy latent in the runtimes of object-oriented programs, henceforth revealing the compositi...

The faunas of parasitic helminths and arthropods of 87 Sherman's fox squirrels (Sciurus niger shermani) and 32 Big Cypress fox squirrels (Sciurus niger avicennia) collected from Florida (USA) over a 6-yr period (1988 to 1993) were compared. One acanthocephalan, one cestode, nine nematodes, one flea, three sucking lice, three mites, one tick, and one dipteran larva were identified. Citellinema b...

Increased herbicide use in silviculture over the last several decades has led to concern over potential water contamination, which may affect biotic health. In the southeastern United States, pine flatwoods are important for timber production and are often interspersed with cypress wetlands. Cypress domes are isolated, shallow basins that collect surficial waters from adjacent forested areas an...
