Forest plantations are a possible way of increasing forest productivity in temperate and
tropical forests, and therefore also increasing above-and belowground carbon pools. In the …

The bioenergy production potential from biomasses is dependent on their characteristics.
This study characterized pine sawdust samples from Zimbabwe and acacia tortilis samples …

Climate change is likely to have a negative impact on natural populations of Pinus patula
and Pinus tecunumanii, two globally important tree species in plantation forestry. The …

Summary results are reported from a total of 319 provenance/progeny tests of Pinus
tecunumanii, P. maximinoi, P. patula and P. greggii that were established on sites in Brazil …

Hydrogel amendments have been used to improve seedling survival and establishment
particularly in dry environments. However, their effect on survival and growth of newly …

Rapid growth rates and the accompanying reduced rotation ages of forest plantations have
resulted in increased proportions of juvenile wood. Growing space markedly influences …

Our knowledge of the pine reproductive process is confined to the developmental stages
and time relations in a particular species. Lacking in the literature is a comparative analysis …

During the last 20 years a program to develop and commercialize the Pinus patula× Pinus
tecunumanii hybrid, as a replacement for P. patula, has been successfully implemented. The …

Growth data and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of 11 different pine species and hybrids were
examined at six sites in three regions in South Africa. Growth traits and three MOE variables …

To select the genetic source of Pinus patula Shiede and Deppe seed best adapted to
different native zones for reforestation, seedlings of 12 provenances native to a selected …
