While some of these aims can be achieved by conventional grafting involving only rootstock and scion, topgrafting is known to deliver all in a shorter time span. In this study, Scots pine scions were grafted onto the upper and lower tree crowns in two clonal archives with the aim of inducing early female and male strobili production, respectively. Their survival rates and strobili production were analyzed with generalized linear mixed models. Survival was low (14%) to moderate (41%), and mainly affected by the topgraft genotype, interstock genotype, crown position and weather conditions in connection with the grafting procedure. Survival was not affected by the cardinal position in the crown (south or north). Male flowering was ample three years after grafting and reached 56% in the first year among live scions, increasing to 62 and 59% in consecutive years. Female flowering was scarce and was 9% at first, later increasing to 26 and 20% of living scions but was strongly affected by the topgraft genotype. In one subset of scions, female flowering was observed 1 year after grafting. Overall, flowering success was mainly affected by the topgraft and interstock genotypes, and secondary growth of scions. This is one of few reports on topgrafting in functional Scots pine clonal archives.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744504","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}

Eucalyptus of a predominant introduced species in southern China, faces significant growth challenges because of typhoon. Therefore, it is vital to investigate the variation of related traits and select superior breeding materials for genetic improvement. Variance, genetic parameter, and correlation analyses were carried out on wind damage indices and eight wood properties in 88 families from 11 provenances of 10-year-old Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The selection index equation was used for evaluating multiple traits and selecting superior provenances and family lines as future breeding material. The results show that all traits were highly significantly different at provenance and family levels, with the wind damage index having the highest coefficient of genetic variation. The heritability of each trait ranged from 0.48 to 0.87, with the wind damage index, lignin and hemicellulose contents, and microfibril angle having the highest heritabilities. The wind damage index had a positive genetic correlation with wood density, a negative correlation with lignin content, a negative phenotypic correlation and a negative genetic correlation with microfibril angle. Wind damage index and genetic progress in the selection of eight wood traits varied from 7.2% to 614.8%. Three provenances and 12 superior families were selected. The genetic gains of the wind damage index were 10.2% and 33.9% for provenances and families, and these may be starting material for genetic modification for wind resistance in eucalyptus and for their dissemination to typhoon-prone coastal areas of southern China.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141610732","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}

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing enables timely and precise monitoring. However, UAV aerial images are challenged by small target size and complex surface backgrounds which hinder their effectiveness in monitoring. To address these challenges, based on the analysis and optimization of UAV remote sensing images, this study developed a spatio-temporal multi-scale fusion algorithm for disease detection. The multi-head, self-attention mechanism is incorporated to address the issue of excessive features generated by complex surface backgrounds in UAV images. This enables adaptive feature control to suppress redundant information and boost the model’s feature extraction capabilities. The SPD-Conv module was introduced to address the problem of loss of small target feature information during feature extraction, enhancing the preservation of key features. Additionally, the gather-and-distribute mechanism was implemented to augment the model’s multi-scale feature fusion capacity, preventing the loss of local details during fusion and enriching small target feature information. This study established a dataset of pine wood nematode disease in the Huangshan area using DJI (DJ-Innovations) UAVs. The results show that the accuracy of the proposed model with spatio-temporal multi-scale fusion reached 78.5%, 6.6% higher than that of the benchmark model. Building upon the timeliness and flexibility of UAV remote sensing, the proposed model effectively addressed the challenges of detecting small and medium-size targets in complex backgrounds, thereby enhancing the detection efficiency for pine wood nematode disease. This facilitates early preemptive preservation of diseased trees, augments the overall monitoring proficiency of pine wood nematode diseases, and supplies technical aid for proficient monitoring.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141552338","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}

The effects of fuel moisture content, mixed fuel ratio and slope on spread rate were analyzed. The optimum packing ratio, moisture-damping coefficient and slope parameters in the Rothermel model were modified using the measured spread rate which was positively correlated with slope and negatively with fuel moisture content. As the Q. mongolica load increased, the spread rate increased and was highest at a fuel ratio of 4:6. The model with modified optimal packing ratio and slope parameters has a significantly lower spread rate prediction error than the unmodified model. The spread rate prediction accuracy was significantly improved after modifying the model parameters based on spread rates from laboratory burning simulations.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141552337","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}

However, the influence of climate can complicate the detection of disturbance signals, leading to limited accuracy in existing methods. In this study, we propose a random under-sampling boosting (RUB) classifier that integrates both tree-ring and climate variables to enhance the detection of forest insect outbreaks. The study focused on 32 sites in Alberta, Canada, which documented insect outbreaks from 1939 to 2010. Through thorough feature engineering, model development, and tenfold cross-validation, multiple machine learning (ML) models were constructed. These models used ring width indices (RWIs) and climate variables within an 11-year window as input features, with outbreak and non-outbreak occurrences as the corresponding output variables. Our results reveal that the RUB model consistently demonstrated superior overall performance and stability, with an accuracy of 88.1%, which surpassed that of the other ML models. In addition, the relative importance of the feature variables followed the order RWIs > mean maximum temperature (Tmax) from May to July > mean total precipitation (Pmean) in July > mean minimum temperature (Tmin) in October. More importantly, the dfoliatR (an R package for detecting insect defoliation) and curve intervention detection methods were inferior to the RUB model. Our findings underscore that integrating tree-ring width and climate variables as predictors in machine learning offers a promising avenue for enhancing the accuracy of detecting forest insect outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141522501","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}

However, in karst regions, intense habitat heterogeneity might alter species composition, spatial distribution, growth, biomass allocation, and mortality processes, yet its impact on diameter structure remains unclear. A fixed plot of 200 m × 110 m was established in the Nanpan River Basin, Southwest China, within an old-growth oak forest (> 300 years old), and the influence of site substrates (i.e., rock and soil), topographic factors, sample area, and orientation on diameter distribution was analyzed. Trees on both rock and soil exhibited a reverse-J shape, quantifiable through the Weibull function. The substrates had a similar density, approximately 2100 plants/ha. However, the average and range of diameter of trees on rock were smaller than those on soil, suggesting that rock constrains tree growth. The diameter distribution of trees across microtopography also displayed a reverse-J shape. Yet, higher elevations and sunny slopes showed a greater curvature of diameter classes compared to lower elevations and shady slopes, indicating habitat preferences in karst trees. Sample area and orientation had minimal effects on diameter class curve that reached stability when the plot size was 6000 m2. These results suggest that the reverse J-shaped diameter distribution prevails at small scales in karst old-growth forests, encompassing multiple curvatures and spanning forest ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"205 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141522513","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}

Fire, as a major disturbance in forests, mediates soil nutrient availability that may influence plant nutrient dynamics. However, plant–soil stoichiometric allocation strategies during different post-fire periods and the effects of soil, enzymes, and microbial biomass on plant stoichiometry are largely unknown. The pioneer tree species Betula platyphylla in burnt forests of northern China was the object of this study, and severely burned areas selected with different fire years. Nearby unburned areas acted as a control. Carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents in leaves, branches, and fine roots and rhizosphere soil, C-, N- and P-acquiring enzyme activities were examined. Microbial biomass C, N, and P were measured, and factors influencing C:N:P stoichiometry of plants during the burned area restoration were explored. Our results show that C and N contents in leaves increased with time since fire, while C and P in branches and C, N and P in fine roots decreased. Activities of C-, N-, and P-acquiring enzymes and microbial biomass N increased with time since fire. Redundancy analysis showed that changes in soil N-acquiring enzyme activity, microbial biomass C, and N had significant effects on plant ecological stoichiometry. These results show a significant flexibility in plant nutrient element allocation strategies and C:N:P stoichiometric characteristics. Soil extracellular enzyme activity drives the changes in stoichiometry during the process of post-fire restoration.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141501153","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}

While previous studies suggested a possible role for the MYB97 gene in cold-stress, confirmation through documented evidence was lacking. In this study, we transformed the MYB97 gene from Iris laevigata into tobacco, and discovered that the gene boosted photosynthesis, photoprotection and resilience to cold. The transgenic tobacco seeds exhibited enhanced germination and accelerated seedling growth. Moreover, these plants had decreased levels of MDA (Malondialdehyde) and relative conductance, coupled with elevated concentrations of proline and soluble sugars. This response was accompanied by heightened activity of antioxidant enzymes during periods of cold stress (4 and − 2 °C). Exposure to low temperatures (0–15 °C) also reduced heights but accentuated primary root growth in transgenic tobacco plants. Additionally, tobacco leaves showed an increased growth along with higher chlorophyll levels, net photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates and non-photochemical quenching coefficient. This study shows that IlMYB97 (The MYB97 genes in I. laevigata) improves cold-resistance, and enhances photosynthesis and photoprotective ability, and thus overall growth and development. These findings would offer the genetic resources to further study cold resistance and photosynthesis.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141501154","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}

However, this kind of investment may increase the current level of emissions. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate how much the policy affects the current level of CO2 emissions. This makes sure the policy doesn’t increase the level of CO2 emissions. This study aims to analyze the effect of the One Billion Trees program on CO2 emissions in New Zealand by employing the 2020 input–output table analysis. This investigation examines the direct and indirect effects of policy on both the demand and supply sides across six regions of New Zealand. The results of this study for the first year of plantation suggest that the policy increases the level of CO2 emissions in all regions, especially in the Waikato region. The direct and indirect impact of the policy leads to 64 kt of CO2 emissions on the demand side and 270 kt of CO2 emissions on the supply side. These lead to 0.19 and 0.74% of total CO2 emissions being attributed to investment shocks. Continuing the policy is recommended, as it has a low effect on CO2 emissions. However, it is crucial to prioritize the use of low-carbon machinery that uses fossil fuels during the plantation process.","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141253720","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}
