Carbon sequestration potential of selected tree species in Bolila Malita, Davao Occidental Philippines

This study determined the carbon sequestration potential of selected tree species in Bolila, Malita Davao Occidenta, Philippinesl. Twenty-seven (27) individuals trees were selected, measured, and calculated namely, Gmelina (Gmelina arborea), Mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni), Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena leucocephala), and Molave (Vitex parviflora) using line transect and non-destructive methods. Based on this results, Gmelina (G. arborea) has the […]

Tree species composition, diversity and structure of Finima Nature Park, Bonny Island, Nigeria

This study evaluated the tree species composition, diversity and structure of Finima Nature Park, to ascertain its status and provide essential information that could enhance sustainable management of the Park. Random sampling was used to delineate 30 sample plots of 30×30 m size. All tree species≥ 10cm diameter at breast height (dbh) were identified to […]

Ecological impacts of fragmentation on the diversity and distributions of indigenous tree species in tropical rainforest of Nigeria

This study investigated the ecological impacts of fragmentation on diversity and distributions of indigenous tree species in Nigerian rainforest, with the aim to ascertain how fragmentation impacted on the species of Ceiba pentandra, Irvingia gaboneensis, Piptadeniastrum africanum, Milicia excelsa, Musanga cecropioides, and Pentaklepta macrophylla. The study was carried out in 42 randomly selected matured rainforest […]

Litterfall nutrients and the soil nutrients under three indigenous tree species in the Nigerian rainforest Region

The study was conducted in the 3 senatorial districts in Delta State (Delta North, Delta Central and Delta South). From each senatorial district, 5 stands of each indigenous species of tree were selected, while 5 rainforest control plots were established from neighbouring rainforest cover of ≥ 80 years in age. Thus, samples of litterfall and […]

Tree species diversity, composition and structure across human impacted and non-impacted areas in upgraded Marang’ Forest, Northern Tanzania

Globally, forests’ capacity to provide ecological services and support human life is rapidly declining due to the lack of deployment of proper resource management approaches. Countries adopt a wide range of management regimes that vary in degree of effectiveness in controlling unstainable human activities. This study aimed at understanding the impacts of upgrading the protection […]

Wood proximate and physical propertyanalysis of Lubeg (Syzygium lineatum DC.) Merr. & L. M. Perry) tree species in Apayao

The equilibrated ground samples of the wood butt, mid and top portions of the three (3) Lubeg tree species collected in the province of Apayao were analyzed for percent moisture content, percent ash content, percent lignin, percent ethanol cyclohexane, percent holo-cellulose and percent alpha-cellulose content. It was found out that the percent moisture content; percent […]

Status of soil chemical properties in the monoculture plots of exotic and indigenous tree species in Sakhipur upazila of Tangail district, Bangladesh

This study has assessed the status of soil chemical properties and its probable impacts of the monoculture of exotic species Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth. and Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. in comparison to the plantation of indigenous species Shorea robusta Roxb ex. Gaertn and Mangifera indica L. in twelve research plots in Sal forest area […]

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. […]
