Forests are essential in regulating global carbon and water cycles and are critical in
mitigating climate change. Water-use efficiency, defined by the ratio of plant productivity per …

Abstract Knowledge of the morphological and physiological responses of trees to planting
density is important for adjusting plantation establishment practices to attain the desired size …

Stand density is a critical factor in the variation of crown structure and biomass, and can
significantly change the growing space and resource acquisition of trees. However, an …

Gibberellins (GAs) are the key regulators controlling plant growth, wood production and the
stress responses in perennial woody plants. The role of GA in regulating the above …

Stand biomass growth rate and allocation are essential for understanding carbon
sequestration rates and carbon cycling in forest ecosystems. However, large-scale patterns …

Eucalyptus tree stocking can be adjusted to increase, depending on purpose, cellulose,
timber or bioenergy production, but the effect of stocking on ecosystem water balance is still …

Clonal plantations of Eucalyptus are among the most productive forests in the world, with
intensification of silviculture and genetic breeding doubling the wood mean annual …

Understanding the water use patterns of artificially revegetated plants in arid and semi-arid
desert regions with shallow groundwater is crucial for sustainable water resource …

Severe soil desiccation in mature forests has been discovered in many water-stressed
regions around the world, threatening sustainable forest development. Only by …

Droughts influenced the effects of increasing intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) on tree
growth. Yet, litter is known on stand density-and age-related relationship among droughts …
