A randomized complete block design experiment was piloted with two-month-old nursery established seedlings of four tree species (Acacia abyssinica, Casuarina equisetifolia, Eucalyptus grandis and Schinus molle) planted in four different media treatments. The media treatments were quarry dust (QD), and quarry dust amendments of a combination of quarry dust with red soil (QD+RS), with manure (QD+MN), and with forest soil (QD+FS), in a ratio of 2:1. Destructive sampling was done in three phases after the third, sixth, and ninth months of transplanting. Measurements for tree height, fresh and dry weights were done bi-weekly in the field and laboratory. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted, and results showed a substantial difference in time-species interaction on belowground, aboveground biomass, and root shoot ratio, at p ≤ 0.05. Generally, the results obtained from the research study point out that quarry dust-manure combination has the prospective to influence the growth of the plant species favorably. The medium can be recommended for the re-vegetation process in post quarry sites in Ndarugu, Kenya. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Elite trees, quarry dust, plant biomass, re-vegetation, root shoot ratio.","PeriodicalId":267383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Horticulture and Forestry","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127543608","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}

Despite the huge number of annual seedling production in tree nurseries, awareness on quality of seedlings is very limited. This study evaluates the seedling quality across nursery ownership types in terms of morphological attributes and examines the effect of seedling quality on early growth and survival. Three nursery ownerships (private, GO and NGO) were selected from three districts of central Gondar zone with the assumption of different nursery management practices. Four tree/shrub species were selected purposively (common in all the nursery ownership types) and seedlings for quality assessment were sampled randomly. The study indicated that seedling qualities differ across the selected nursery ownership types and have significant effect on survival and early growth. Significant differences (α<0.05) were observed in the mean shoot length, root collar diameter, shoot and root dry masses among different tree nursery owners. These differences could be rooted from different management in different nursery ownership types. There were relatively higher seedling proportions having measured parameters out of threshold standards for height, root collar diameter, shoot to root ratio and height-diameter ratio in private owner. Generally, Grevillea robusta performed better in NGO, Rhamnus prinoides and Cordia africana in private nurseries and Cupressus lusitanica in GO nurseries. However, species, site, and management specific studies must be studied to clearly quantify seedling quality and the associated effect on early growth and survival. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Quality, tree seedlings, nursery ownerships, central Gondar zone.","PeriodicalId":267383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Horticulture and Forestry","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126928559","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}

Cone production in pines is not uniform and often varies among compartments and sectors within the crown. Many countries experience challenges in seed production from orchards due to poor practices. The present study aimed to evaluate within-crown cone production patterns, cone characteristics, and seed yield in a Pinus patula clonal seed orchard in Londiani, Kenya. Crown height was divided into three equal portions and a further subdivision done for each of the parts into two sections. There were differences in cone characteristics within the crown, between the sections and compartments. The majority (67.1%) of the cones in the present study were curved. The study also showed that cone shape had no significant influence on seed yield. The present study observed cones collected from the top portion of the crown yielded the highest amount of seed (33.3±4.91 seeds) (p<0.05) while the bottom part had the lowest (14.4±2.76) (p<0.05). The study recommends the collection of P. patula seeds from the upper part of the crown in unmanaged stands. Further, it suggests that management through pollarding needs to be done regularly to minimize within-crown differences. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Pinus patula, crown, cone characteristics, seed yield, clonal seed orchard.","PeriodicalId":267383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Horticulture and Forestry","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114752091","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 objective of the present study is to develop an approach for assessing forest cover changes in landscapes with high spatial complexity and temporal variation that can allow the generation of robust monitoring information. The forest-cover change maps were produced using time-series of Landsat images, high resolution images from Google Earth, free software R and QGIS. A complete map of forest cover change at 30 m spatial resolution was produced over 603'972 ha. The result was validated by photo-interpretation of 5000 randomly sampled points and on the basis of high-resolution images available in Google Earth (Quickbird) for the year 2018 and Landsat satellite images for the year 2018, 1991 and 2003. The estimated overall accuracy of the forest cover change map is 88.7%. In the study area, the forest area was estimated at 246’915 ha in 1991, 232’741 ha in 2003 and 230’390 ha in 2018. The gross forest loss has increased from 182.5 ha/year in the first period 1991-2003 to 187.47 ha/year in the second period 2003-2018. The corresponding net annual forest loss (incl. regeneration) rates are 0.5% in the first period and 0.1% in the second period. The decrease of the net annual forest loss rate in the second period is attributed to an increase in forest regeneration. This study can be considered as a reproducible approach to map forest-cover change and can support policy approaches towards reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+). \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Forest loss, forest gain, multi-date, Landsat, random forest, Togo.","PeriodicalId":267383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Horticulture and Forestry","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117312194","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}
