Vegetative propagation technologies using stem and root cuttings of Paulownia (P. fortunei and P. elongata) tree species for mass production
Paulownia is a multipurpose tree with high-quality wood features including machining qualities, rot resistance, fast growth, a good tree form, high yield, light wood weight and good potential for plantation and agroforestry. In 2012, Paulownia was introduced into Ghana under the FC/Industry plantations project for field trials at Asenanyo and Pra-Anum Forest Reserves. Recent field […]
Review on reported importance and previous conservation investigations of a threatened food tree species Pentadesma butyracea
Most of multi-use species are declining in the wide habitat in spite of the variety of the conservation recommendations formulated by researchers. This may be due to the fact that a large part of researches focused on their socio-economic importance than the conservation of those species. Pentadesma butyracea is a multi-uses tree species that occurs […]
Effects of ectomycorrhizae on the wildling growth of six tree species from Dipterocarpaceae family
The objectives of the research were to analyze the effects of ectomycorrhizae on wildling growth of six tree species from Dipterocarpaceae family, and to analyze the species that have the best growth response on the ectomycorrhizae. The method used was a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. Factors applied were ectomycorrhizae and wildling species. […]
Influence of soil properties on tree species diversity of the base of Mt. Musuan, Bukidnon, Philippines
The study was conducted to determine the influence of soil properties on the tree species diversity of the base of Mt. Musuan, Bukidnon, Philippines. Ten plots with a size of 100m2 were established for the assessment of trees. Soil samples were taken from each plot at 0-15cm depth to measure chemical properties. For vegetation analysis, […]
Status of commercial and non-commercial tree species in Sitapahar Reserve Forest of Bangladesh
Sustainable wood supply can only be assured by the rational utilization of all available wood resources of the forest areas of a country. But the bulk of tropical wood species, also termed as noncommercial species, remains unutilized or underutilized due to insufficient information. This study aimed at finding out the status of commercial and non-commercial […]
Tree species of Lekki Conservation Center, Lagos State, Nigeria
Industrialization and commercialization has resulted in deforestation and reduction of important tree species which are of ecological and economic importance. Based on the aforementioned, this study was carried out to give inventory of the tree flora of Lekki Conservation Centre, Lagos State. The study adopted a survey method using random sampling and concept mapping. Several […]
Soil moisture fluctuation influences AMF root colonization and spore population in tree species planted in degraded entisol soil
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous in soil form symbiotic relation with majority of the plants and pays dividend to host during adverse conditions. As AMF development in soil and in plant roots varies greatly due to changing soil moisture, nutrient and temperature the benefits of symbiosis are also affected. In present investigation soil moisture fluctuation […]
First report of tree species of Minalungao National Park, Nueva Ecija, Philippines
Minalungao National Park in Nueva Ecija, Central Luzon, Philippines is a protected Key Biodiversity Area and a priority for conservation studies. With its high level of biodiversity, sthis area offers vast opportunities in research especially in species identification and composition. Quadrats measuring 20 × 20 meters were laid out along ten (10) transect lines measuring […]
Natural regeneration of some commercial timber tree species following selective logging in a semi deciduous forest in the east region of Cameroon
A critical step in sustainable forest management is to ensure the establishment and regeneration of seedlings and sapling of exploitable tree species following logging. Since selective logging is one of the main silvicultural practices in Cameroon, a detailed understanding of regeneration following selective logging is vital. This study evaluated the natural regeneration of some commercial […]
Composition of tree species at the ebony forest in the watershed area of sausu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Diospyros celebica Bakh. (Makassar ebony) is one of endemic tree species to Sulawesi and prized of its luxuriant, multicolour wood grain. It has been used for long history of use even in Ancient Egyptian. Modern use of ebony are largely restricted to small items, such as crucifixes, musical instrumen parts including piano, viola, guitar, bass […]
