The effect of tree diversity on productivity in subtropical forests in China is poorly understood. We investigated the biomasses of trees, understory vegetation, coarse roots, and fine roots with varying proportions of Pinus massoniana, mixed with other tree species in stands of the same age, to examine the effects of tree diversity. With an increase of P. massoniana proportion, the tree and un...

In order to evaluate the possible correlation between the tree density and the human population density, the forested area in Nav Asalem district located in Guilan Province was selected. The descriptors of tree number and basal area per hectare as well as the stand density index were used to determine the tree density, which was conducted from a 2014 forest inventory including 62 cluster (558 p...

The effect of (NH4)2SO4:Ca(NO3)2 ratios applied by fertigation on nutritional status, fruit set, yield, and marketable yield pomegranate trees cv. Wonderful was evaluated. were provided with five nutrient solutions the same total nitrogen level (200 units/ha) but different (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40). Increasing (NH4)2SO4 ratio from 60 to 100% significantly reduced (N), magnesium (Mg), ...
