The guidelines suggest that CCF can be calculated by converting the total biomass or bulk density (BD) of plants, and multiplying by the estimated percent carbon content (PCC). There are many relevant studies on the CCF of trees, but little research has been done on the CCF of bamboo. This study focused on the analysis of different CCFs among 4 major bamboo species found in Taiwan: Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla: Ph), Makino bamboo (P. makinoi: Pm), ma bamboo (Dendrocalamus latiflorus: Dl), and thorny bamboo (Bambusa stenostachya: Bs). Various sites, ages, and positions in the culm were examined, and the resulting BD and PCC were simultaneously analyzed. The results show that the CCF significantly varied among species, sites, and positions in the culm, but showed no significant differences between age for Ph and Bs, and only partly significant differences for Pm and Dl. Variations in the CCF with the position in culm in all 4 bamboo species had the same trend: upper section ＞ middle section ＞ lower section. Average CCFs for a single culm of Pm, Ph, Bs, and Dl were 0.357, 0.318, 0.281, and 0.234, respectively. The results will be useful in increasing the estimation accuracy of carbon sequestration of local bamboo stands in Taiwan.","PeriodicalId":22180,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Forest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80766576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dataset may be the product of physical measurements of the real world, or it can be the product of a computational model. Visual images are regarded as being relatively easily interpreted by humans and help people understand complex data and processes. This study used a 3D computer cartographic technique to compile data of the terrain, buildings, roads, and plants in the core area of the Shanping Ecological Scientific Garden (SESG) in the Liukuei Research Center, southwestern Taiwan. SketchUp software was used to build 3D object models and assign allocation to the objects based on a geographic survey. Keyhole Markup Language and Google Earth were also used to generate digitized virtual scenery images. With the aid of the forest landscape simulation system we developed, people could quite easily visit the virtual world of the SESG at home. Finally, 2 scenarios of nursery management in the SESG were designed in this study. It is expected that the 3D simulation technique developed in this study can be utilized in forest recreational areas to design scenarios and elicit public discussion on landscape planning.","PeriodicalId":22180,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Forest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78430243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated that the paper substrates exerted significant influences. Although the commercial paper upon impregnating with various gelatins could markedly increase its folding endurance, after 12 d of 105℃ dry-heat, however, the folding endurance was almost reduced to 0; tearing strength retention was merely 20%. Thus it was not durable and would not be suitable for use as a medium for artistic creations. Individual resins and adhesives exhibited differing effects; they affected the original strengths of the substrate papers, but also the aging responses and changes in coloration. For tearing strength retention, the 2 wet-strength resins, sodium alginate, alum-added gelatin, and starch showed poorer strengths after the 105℃ dry-heat treatment. Resins or adhesives added with an insolubilizer, AZC, were superior to alum, and the effects were more distinctive in filter paper than in handmade papers, mainly because there was no calcium carbonate in the filter paper to neutralize the acidity of the alum.","PeriodicalId":22180,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Forest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77377022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social interactions and foraging behaviors of these birds were recorded in June to September 2009. David's scores were calculated from an interspecific interaction matrix, and the score roughly increased with the body size of birds, but some exceptions were noted. Concerning foraging behavior, feral pigeons (Columba livia) and Spotted-necked Doves (Streptopelia chinensis) took over the food area once they appeared even though Tree Sparrows (Passer montanus) usually arrived first. A linear regression model indicated that the number of Tree Sparrows outside the food area was positively correlated with the number of feral pigeons and Spotted-necked Doves inside the food area. Feral pigeons and Spotted-necked Doves moved away as the food was gradually consumed, and smaller species accordingly increased their foraging in the food area. Nevertheless, the Tree Sparrow was also suppressed by other medium-sized birds, like the White-vented Myna (Acridotheres javanicus) and Chinese Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis), and they eventually occupied the food area in large numbers at a later stage. This study revealed that body size did matter and the Tree Sparrow was clearly the least dominant species among the 6. However, a discrepancy between the dominance status and interference competition in foraging was apparent. In addition to David's score, we suggest incorporating body size, group size, and interference competition to reach a more-comprehensive dominance hierarchy in bird communities.","PeriodicalId":22180,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Forest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78323549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the territory mapping method has rarely been applied to estimate entire bird communities in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. We conducted territory mappings in an area of around 40 ha at a mid-elevation site in Taiwan for a period of 20 consecutive weeks (40 census days in total) from early March to late July 2005 to establish field protocols of territory mapping and examine the effectiveness of this method in detecting the avian community composition. Fifty-seven bird species from 5719 registrations were recorded during the 40 field censuses. The results suggested that the optimal period for territory mapping at the study site was during 10~12 wk from early April to late June, because during this period, the prevalences of most breeding species were highest. Within this period of time, we registered 88% of the breeding species recorded historically. Repeatedly playing 2 repetitions of the territorial songs of the 14 commonest species did not significantly affect the total number of breeding species or registrations recorded on each census. These results indicate that with a good trail system, the territory mapping method is suitable for censusing bird communities in forests of Taiwan and similar habitats in Asia. However, due to the non-territorial behavior, asynchronous breeding season, and multiple broodings of birds in tropical and subtropical regions, the efficiency of territory mapping method is not as good as that in temperate regions.","PeriodicalId":22180,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Forest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87399916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied blob-detecting of a computer vision technique to develop this package. We then tested the tool using images with different numbers of bees present collected from the Shanping wireless sensor network of TFRI. We compared the times consumed between the automatic and manual processes. Results showed that analysis of images with a low number of bees present (with an average bee number of ＜30 individuals per image) between the automatic process and manual process respectively required 9 and 315 min. A similar results showed that analysis of images with a high number of bees present (with an average bee number of ＞30 individuals per image) between the automatic process and manual process respectively require 23 and 409 min. Although the automatic process overestimated bee counts by 2~21%, the tool shows significant reductions in processing times.

To investigate the effects of alternative thinning strategies on the stand structure and tree composition of a sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) plantation, this study was conducted on national forests in the Nandai Working Circle Area. In a 35-yr-old plantation, the baseline stand status was surveyed to determine the inventory of timber resources in the study area on 12 plots with a size of 1 ha each. Among them, a randomized block design was adopted for 3 treatments with 4 replications for each treatment in 1 ha. A gap thinning rule was used to remove trees with 3 levels of thinning intensity in terms of removing 0, 25, and 50% area of sugi trees in a plot. In each plot, all woody plants with a diameter at breast height (dbh) of ＞1.0 cm were tallied, tagged, identified to species, the position was recorded, and dbh was measured. Baseline survey results showed that due to variations in growth among trees in the past, inconsistencies in tree densities were evident among plots. While the basal area shared by understory woody plants was quite small in the plantation (i.e., ＜5%), the enhancement of biodiversity was obvious. In terms of Shannon diversity index, the biological diversity of all woody plants increased after thinning, but there was little change in overstory trees. Vertical evenness of the overstory tree canopy was reduced after thinning and there was a not noticeable left-truncated Weibull dbh distribution after thinning.","PeriodicalId":22180,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Forest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86536504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dependency of the crested wheatgrass on arbuscular mycorrhizae (AMs) with D. spurcum was 292%. Diversispora spurcum inoculation also significantly increased the nitrogen and mineral (P, K, Ca, Mg, and Na) contents in roots, stems, and leaves of crested wheatgrass. Inoculated and non-inoculated crested wheatgrass seedlings were cold-acclimated and subsequently subjected to freeze tolerance tests at -8, -11, -14, -15, -16, and -17℃, respectively. The leaf lethal temperatures for 50% mortality (LT50) of non-inoculated and inoculated crested wheatgrass were -8 and -14℃, respectively, while the whole plant LT50 values of non-inoculated and inoculated crested wheatgrass were -11 and -15.5℃, respectively.
