In contrast, hand pollination with out-of-stand pollen produced the most acorns both years and significantly more than within-stand pollen or natural pollination in 2022. Hand pollination with out-of-stand or within-stand pollen provided significantly more acorns than natural pollination in 2023. In 2022, hand pollination with a 1:1 mixture of out-of-stand and within-stand pollen yielded an intermediate number of mature acorns between those for the out-of-stand and within-stand pollination treatments. The study provides clear evidence of maternal choice during acorn development in pedunculate oak and of the benefits of pollen supplementation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the tradeoffs in N investment between leaf N resorption and N for photosynthesis in seedlings with increased soil fertility during the hardening period. A field experiment was conducted to determine if and how soil fertility treatments (17, 34, or 68 mg N seedling<sup>−1</sup>) affected N resorption and allocation to the photosynthetic apparatus in <i>Quercus mongolica</i> leaves during the hardening period. Seedlings were sampled at T<sub>1</sub> (after terminal bud formation), T<sub>2</sub> (between terminal bud formation and end of the growing period), and T<sub>3</sub> (at the end of the growing period). Results showed that photosynthetic N content continued to rise in T<sub>2</sub>, while N resorption started from non-photosynthetic N. Leaf N allocation to the photosynthetic apparatus increased as soil fertility increased, delaying N resorption. Additionally, soil fertility significantly affected N partitioning among different photosynthetic components, maintaining or increasing photosynthetic traits during senescence. This study demonstrates a tradeoff in N investment between resorption and photosynthesis to maintain photosynthetic assimilation capacity during the hardening period, and that soil fertility impacts this balance. <i>Q. mongolica</i> leaves primarily resorbed N from the non-photosynthetic apparatus and invested it in the photosynthetic apparatus, whereas different photosynthetic N component allocations effectively improved this pattern.</p>","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has confirmed that natural forests with random patterns have higher biodiversity and stronger resistance to unstable factors such as pests and diseases. Even if they are disturbed or destroyed by unstable factors such as pests and diseases, they can still recover and rescue themselves; while artificial forests with uniform and clustered patterns have lower biodiversity and are susceptible to unstable factors such as pests and diseases. And once pests and diseases occur, it’s more difficult for them to recover. In order to promote the healthy and stable development of the forestry industry and protect the diversity of the biological environment, it is necessary to protect the random pattern of natural forests from being destroyed in the process of forest management, while effectively transforming the spatial pattern of artificial forests into a random pattern. Therefore, in order to ensure the convenient and accurate determination of the type of forest spatial pattern, research on methods for determining forest spatial pattern has become particularly important. Based on the theory of uniformity, this study proposes definitions and related theories of included exclusive sphere, included exclusive body, included random pattern, and included uniformity. Under the guidance of the definition of inclusion uniformity and related theories, and by using mathematical method, it is proved that the uniformity of inclusion (<i>CL</i>) is asymptotically subject to the Eq. 18, Therefore, the relationship between the included uniformity (<i>CL</i>) and the number of trees in the sample plot was established, and the corresponding relationship formula was obtained, and then the determination of the spatial pattern type of trees was completed by using the corresponding relationship formula.

The RWI showed stronger negative correlations with temperature and positive correlations with the self-calibrating Palmer drought severity index during most months in the introduction area. These results indicate that enhanced drought stress caused by elevated temperatures in lower latitudes might be a key factor for the growth decline in Mongolian pine plantations.

Gross rainfall, TF under different canopy types, and SF of different tree types were measured in 2019. TF and SF were frequently observed even without rain but under foggy conditions. Therefore, both were partitioned into TF and SF from rainfall and fog individually. Sparser canopies resulted in larger TF from rainfall than denser canopies. However, a denser canopy delivered larger TF from fog than a sparser one. TF rates from rainfall in sparser and denser canopies were 54.5% and 51.5%, respectively, while those from fog were 15.2% and 27.2%, respectively.
