We, therefore, examined the ideal harvest date to obtain high-quality ripe “Autumn sense” hardy kiwifruit. The fruit was harvested at four different harvest maturity stages [6.2%, 7.1%, 8.1%, and 9.1% average soluble solids content (SSC); H1, H2, H3, and H4, respectively], then treated with exogenous ethylene at ambient temperature, to examine the quality of the ripening fruit. The four harvest maturity stages differed significantly in firmness, SSC, titratable acidity (TA), and SSC/TA ratio, both in freshly harvested and ripe hardy kiwifruit (p < 0.001). Fruit firmness at harvest gradually decreased from 32.1 to 25.1 N, while SSC increased steadily as harvest maturity increased. TA increased steadily from 0.8 in H1 to 1.1% in H3, and was lower in H4. After ethylene treatment, the range of firmness was much lower, at 2.7–3.1 N, while SSC increased significantly from 15.1% in H1 to 16.4% in H4. TA decreased significantly from 1.0% at harvest to 0.7% after ethylene treatment, regardless of harvest maturity stage. For H3 fruit, TA was 56% lower after ethylene treatment than before treatment. After treatment, H3 had the highest SSC/TA (p < 0.001). Consumer preference was higher for H3 and H4 than H1 and H2, and was highly correlated with the SSC/TA ratio at harvest and after ethylene treatment, and with SSC at harvest. These results suggest that TA, SSC, and SSC/TA should be considered for determining the optimal harvest maturity for hardy kiwifruit. This study reveals that the quality of ripened hardy kiwifruit can be maximized by controlling harvest maturity.","PeriodicalId":51802,"journal":{"name":"Forest Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86310301","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}

There is a wide range of procedures to analyze the forest canopy through satellite images. The purpose of this work is to obtain a map of forest opening with remote sensing by relating several vegetation indices, Kauth-Thomas transformation and texture filters, to a Landsat 8OLI image. A factor analysis was made to evaluate the contribution of these variable to identify the opening of the forest cover, yielding a σ2 = 76%. The results show that the Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), and brightness factor have the best correlation (0.225–0.216 component coefficient). The resulting model was reclassified into five categories of forest opening and associated with land use data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI-México). Thus, 95% of human settlements have a canopy opening between medium and very high, the crops areas 72%, and the low deciduous forest with secondary shrub vegetation 100% of the opening. Coniferous and mixed forests have a low to very low canopy opening 46% and 55%, respectively of their surface. The forests with secondary vegetation, both shrub and arboreal, present greater openness than the same forests in the primary state. Verification of the spatial representation data of canopy opening was made by comparing 94 hemispheric photographs with 94 sites located in open areas obtaining an r = 0.57. This work offers a simple and straightforward methodology, easily replicable in different types of vegetation using free satellite imagery. Hence, it is a helpful tool for decision-makers when considering the general status of conservation of forest systems and their spatial distribution.","PeriodicalId":51802,"journal":{"name":"Forest Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76574002","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}

Additionally, the Siberian flying squirrel used at least four nests. During winter, Eurasian nuthatch bird species competed with the Siberian flying squirrel for the nests. Therefore, to reduce competition for nests, further research on the nest entrance size, nest depth, and insulation material preferred by the Siberian flying squirrels and Eurasian nuthatch birds is necessary. This study provides significant information on whether artificial nests installed in areas, where rescued Siberian flying squirrels are released, can be used as early nesting sites by the Siberian flying squirrels to facilitate their easy re-settlement in the natural habitats.","PeriodicalId":51802,"journal":{"name":"Forest Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90060738","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}

In the present study, an open-field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of spring warming and drought treatments on the short-term physiological responses of 1-year-old Larix kaempferi seedlings. The warming treatment was designed to increase the air temperature by 4 °C compared to that of the temperature control plots and was carried out for seven days each in the second and fourth week of May 2020. Moreover, the drought treatment was designed to completely block precipitation for four weeks in May 2020. After the first warming treatment period, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and net photosynthetic rate decreased by 35.16%, 29.53%, and 13.34% in the temperature warming plots compared to those in the temperature control plots, respectively. After the resting stage, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate increased by 101.47% and 72.80% in the temperature warming plots compared to those in the temperature control plots, respectively. Stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and net photosynthetic rate tended to decrease in the drought treatment. The total chlorophyll content did not change under the warming treatment, but it increased by 20.29% in the drought treatment plots compared to that in the precipitation control plots in the fourth week; this may have resulted from chlorophyll hormesis. Furthermore, the correlation and principal component analyses showed that seedling physiological responses and environmental conditions were closely related. We found that spring warming and drought treatments can reduce stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and net photosynthetic rate, thus affecting seedling growth. This study is expected to be the basis for more in-depth studies on the effects of warming and drought treatments on the growth and phenology of L. kaempferi seedlings.","PeriodicalId":51802,"journal":{"name":"Forest Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77384525","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}

To identify a single antifungal monoterpene with antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, we identified a single antifungal compound by chemically profiling essential oils from three coniferous species. The antifungal activity of coniferous essential oil was slightly different depending on the species but showed high antifungal activity, and T. occidentalis essential oil had the highest antifungal activity among the three essential oils. The chemical composition of essential oils from three coniferous leaves was profiled using GC-MS. The chemical profiles of C. obtusa and C. pisifera were very similar, but T. occidentalis was relatively different from the two species. The chemical composition of the three conifer oils contained 20 each. As a result of profiling three essential oil components with high antifungal activity, the compounds present in all three species were bornyl acetate and terpinyl acetate. These compounds of C. obtusa essential oil were 26.49%, C. pisifera essential oil 25.04% and T. occidentalis essential oil 12.60%. These two compounds were estimated to be antifungal agents. The antifungal activity of the six monoterpenes was different, and the single monoterpene with the highest antifungal activity was bornyl acetate followed by terpinyl acetate. Therefore, it was possible to search for antifungal activity monoterpene components by chemical profiling. Terpinyl acetate and bornyl acetate can be used for environmental-friendly insecticidal active materials.","PeriodicalId":51802,"journal":{"name":"Forest Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84484200","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 used a narrative scooping review approach to narrate the present state of forest fires and resilient adaptation responses to guide the development of climate resilient adaptation pathways in the future. Our review concludes that forest fires (total mean fire incidence = 3,158.5) continue to destroy overwhelming areas of forests every year (mean area destroyed = 658,778.4 hectares), presenting significant threat to ecological integrity, human wellbeing, and global effort to fight climate change. Fire incidences are highest during and post dry winter months which quickly declines at the onset of monsoon. Adaptation and responding to ever growing size and frequency of forest fires are limited by lack of awareness, training on fire management, firefighting infrastructure, technology, and adequate policy and financial support. In addition, there is acute lack of scientific studies to understand forest fire dynamics in the eastern Himalayan region. Based on the forest fire literature we argue that policy makers and communities must quickly adopt policy strategies that support smart responses to forest fire management including allocating adequate funds to support capacity building and research. Such decision must be based on research into potentials for climate resilient pathways for adaptation response.","PeriodicalId":51802,"journal":{"name":"Forest Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75172490","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 two species’ regional means of H/D ratio and crown ratio were then computed and compared to find the relationship with tree growth. The result of analyzing the relationship between the H/D ratio and tree growth by DBH class is as follows, 77.0% for small DBH class, 62.5% for medium DBH class, and 45.9% for large DBH class, with overall mean of 61.8%. The annual means of DBH growth were 4.6 mm, 7.4 mm, and 8.2 mm respectively for small, medium, and large DBH classes. As the DBH class went up, the H/D ratio decreased, showing a negative correlation (p < 0.0001) with the tree growth rate. However, the crown ratio showed a significant correlation with tree growth. Japanese cedar’s H/D ratios by DBH class were 100.5% for small, 74.9% for medium, and 53.6% for large, while its mean annual DBH growth were 5.1 mm, 7.6 mm, and 10.0 mm, from small to large DBH class respectively. Similar to that of Hinoki cypress, Japanese cedar’s H/D ratio showed a negative correlation with the growth rate (p < 0.0001), but no significant relationship could be established between the crown ratio and the tree growth. In both arboreal species, the correlation between the H/D ratio and growth rate is negative, and no significant correlation could be formulated between crown ratio and tree growth.
