Voles can damage and kill trees as large as 3-4 inches in diameter by gnawing on roots and girdling stems. They are a leading cause of failures in tree planting projects. To protect seedlings from voles, use a shelter at least 12-18 inches in height secured tightly to the ground with a stake. Periodically inspect shelters, tapping them tight to ...

Introduction. Soil nitrogen (N) availability is a common limiting factor for plant growth in terrestrial systems (Elser et al., 2007).One of the main benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for host plants is improved mineral nutrient levels; however, most studies have demonstrated the role of AMF in plant phosphorus (P) rather than N nutrition (Smith and Read, 2008; Smith and …

Pignut hickory (Carya glabra) is a common but not abundant species in the oak-hickory forest association in Eastern United States.Other common names are pignut, sweet pignut, coast pignut hickory, smoothbark hickory, swamp hickory, and broom hickory.

Whenever I get a log too large for my mill, I get a length of detonating rope and usually 2 sticks of dynamite. Then I cut a shallow groove down the log where I want to split it, cut a hole in the ends for the sticks with my chainsaw, then load the log with the sticks and the detonating rope goes in the groove. ...

Fuji apples (Malus pumila Mill. cv. Fuji), exceeds 70%, accounting for 29.3% of the apple cultivation areas in China, translating to ...

The yield of rainfed crops is greatly affected by the annual pattern of precipitation, whereas the tillage method and nitrogen fertilizer dose also exert a certain regulatory effect. We hypothesized that in the semiarid region of the Loess Plateau, with more precipitation, more nitrogen fertilizer is needed for the optimal wheat yield. Here, the following three nitrogen …

It was cultivated in certain regions during the pre-Roman Iron Age and is found throughout entire Europe around year zero, becoming prominent especially east and north of the river Rhine during the fourth and fifth centuries AD [ 15] (pp. 621–626).

Admixed individuals were found distributed in large parts of the sampled area from sites 21 Junkerdalen and 22 Fauske in the north, to sites 11 Forollhogna and 15 Leirtjønnkollen in the south. The extent of hybridization and the origin of hybrids, including other closely related species in section Phacocystis, need further exploration.

LOESS requires fairly large, densely sampled data sets in order to produce good models. This is not really surprising, however, since LOESS needs good empirical information on the local structure of the process in order perform the local fitting. In fact, given the results it provides, LOESS could arguably be more efficient overall than other ...

Abstract. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), a very cold and dry period around 26.5–19 kyr BP, permafrost was widespread across Europe. In this work, we explore the possible benefit of using regional climate model data to improve the permafrost representation in France, decipher how the atmospheric circulation affects the permafrost boundaries in the …

Dew is an important water source for plants in arid and semi-arid regions. However, information on dew is scarce in such regions. In this study, we explored dew formation, amount, and duration of rain-fed jujube (Zizyphus jujube Mill) trees in a semi-arid loess hilly region of China (i.e., Mizhi County). The data included dew intensity and duration, relative …

Introduction. Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is one of the major deciduous fruit crops and contributes greatly to economic development in rural regions in China (Liu et al., 2020).Jujube fruits have distinct nutritional values and a special flavor due to their high sugars (ca.72% of fruit dry biomass) and Vitamin C (over 1,000 mg per100 g fresh flesh) content.

loess. In some parts of the world, windblown dust and silt blanket the land. This layer of fine, mineral -rich material is called loess. Loess is mostly created by wind, but can also be formed by glacier s. When glaciers grind rocks to a fine powder, loess can form. Stream s carry the powder to the end of the glacier. This sediment becomes loess.

Abstract. Peat growth is a frequent phenomenon in European river valleys. The presence of peat in the floodplain stratigraphy makes them hotspots of carbon storage. The long-term dynamics of alluvial peatlands are complex due to interactions between the peat and the local river network, and as a result, alluvial-peatland development in relation to both regional …
