Diversity, stand structure, biomass and carbon storage potential of natural and planted Mangrove Forests in Samar, Philippines
Samar is one of the provinces in the Philippines with the most extensive remaining mangrove forest. However, information on ecology and carbon sequestration capacity is limited. Thus, this study aims to assess the species diversity, community structure, and carbon stock in the natural and planted mangrove stands in Zumarraga, Samar. The transect-line method was used […]
Biomass and Carbon Sequestration Rate in a Young Eucalyptus Hybrid Plantation of Terai Central Forest Division
Biomass and carbon sequestration rate in a 2 year old plantation of Eucalyptus hybrid was estimated in Terai central forest division of Uttarakhand over a one year period extending between October-2009 to September-2010. 20 permanent plots of 0.1 ha were placed randomly in the plantation site of 10 ha. The biomass was calculated by using […]
Effect of switchgrass plantation on soil moisture and nitrogen availability and microbial biomass carbon in a semi-arid ecosystem
The crop canopy was reported to have a strong influence on soil moisture and nutrient availability. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) plantations on soil moisture and the levels of mineral nitrogen and microbial biomass carbon. Soil samples were collected from six soil layers to a […]
Irrigation interval and fertilizer nutrient sources influenced growth and biomass yield of ‘PITA 24’ plantain (Musa spp. AAB)
In the current global climate change scenario, there are predictions of drought and water shortages. This study evaluated varying fertilizer treatments (organic – 20 t.ha-1 of composted poultry manure, inorganic – 400 kg N + 600 kg K2O + 100 kg P2O5 per hectare, and the complementary doses thereof, and a no-fertilizer control) alongside three […]
Evaluation of plant diversity indices and the biomass of Pistacia atlantica under drought stress in grazing and enclosed area (case study: Tag-e Ahmad Shahi, Nehbandan, Iran)
Preparing floristic composition is very important to determine vegetation potential in an area to achieve the best pasture management. In order to plant identification in grazing and enclosed areas (each 4 hectares) 40 plots were established (10*10 m) in Tag-e Ahmad Shahi, Nehbandan. This area has involved in a long period of drought and grazing […]
Use of CROPGRO-soybean to simulate biomass and grain yield of soybean (Glycine max L.) in different planting dates
In order to investigation of CROPGRO-Soybean model under four sowing date management in some of growth unlimited cultivars of soybean in Karaj, this experiment carry out as a randomized complete block design in split plot arrangement with four replications in 2010. Treatments were different planting date 19 May, 29 May, 9 Jun, 19 Jun as […]
Assessment of allelopathic effects of some cruciferous plants on field dodder seed germination and eggplant seedling growth
This study was conducted in both field and greenhouse settings. The experiment featured five replications and followed a randomized plot design and was replicated twice in both 2020 and 2021. In the experiment, cruciferous plant extracts were applied at concentrations of 2%, 6%, and 10% in pots, each containing 20 field dodder seeds and a […]
Influence of amendment type and re-cutting on biomass production and germination capacity of Artemisia annua L. in Burkina Faso
Artemisia annua L. is a plant containing artemisinin in its leaves, recommended by the world health organization (WHO) for the treatment of malaria through Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT). This study was carried out to develop an efficient technique for producing aerial biomass and seeds with high germination capacity of the species. A factorial block design […]
Tree biomass and carbon stock of Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes) along different altitudinal gradients in the Province of Agusan Del Norte, Philippines
Estimation of the tree biomass and carbon stock of F. moluccana along different altitudinal gradients was conducted at Agusan del Norte, Philippines. It followed a non-destructive method of sampling and used the allometric equation by ERDB 2008 and Cairns et al. (1997) for aboveground biomass and carbon stock, and belowground computation, respectively. Based on these […]
