The wild Rhododendron moulmainense grows slowly, according to Wutong Mountain Management Center staffer Zhang Kaiwen. It typically takes a decade for the main stem of these evergreen shrubs to grow to the width of a thumb and over a century to reach the width of a bowl. Organizers have arra...
Wild edible plants (WEPs) are usually considered to constitute all plant resources that are neither cultivated nor domesticated but are used as nutritional supplements by local people. WEPs play a vital role in ensuring food and livelihood security for c
Lauraceae is well known for its significant phylogenetic position as well as important economic and ornamental value; however, most evergreen species in Lauraceae are restricted to tropical regions. In contrast, camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) is the most dominant evergreen broadleaved tree in subt...
The mangrove forest is an ecosystem that thrives in intertidal zones along coastal areas, characterized by evergreen trees and shrubs. China represents the northernmost extent of global mangrove distribution, with primary habitats in Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, as well as Macau, Hon...
constant weight. After drying, weigh the dry weight of the aboveground and belowground parts and record them as WA and WB. The herb biomass of the entire subplot was calculated based on the coverage, the dry weight of the herbaceous plants, and the area of the entire subplot (Sun et al....
(standard deviation). Shrub height and cover and basal area of both live and dead trees can change drastically in relation to time since fire and post-fire management (i.e., shrubs grow rapidly post-fire and snags begin to fall, while salvage operations can disrupt shrub growth and remove ...
Once in a while, I spotted evergreen windbreaks. Some sheltered foundations of houses that fell apart years ago. Highways in the country are narrow; few allow for a shoulder. Reflectors, paced every hundred yards or so, lead the way. I watched for deer. Almost everyone I know has hit ...
Tea trees are tropical evergreen shrubs, small trees/arbors, and trees/arbors, plants up to 1–6 m even 15–30 m tall, that are grown mainly between 30 and 16 degrees north–south latitude of the equator. Generally, the finest tea is grown at altitudes of 900 to 2100 m.Heng DuanMoun...
a universal coefficient of 0.475 was used for treeCestimation (Raghubanshi1991; Singh and Chand2012), indicating approximately 47.5% ofCin dry plant biomass (Westlake1963). The understory (shrubs and herbs) and forest LB was estimated to be 50% of the biomass (Dar and Sundarapandian2015). ...
The final article in a series of three publications examining the global distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of malaria is presented here. The first publication examined the DVS from the Americas, with the second covering those species prese
