The quaking aspen grows from Maine to Alaska and in many portions of the American West. It is a member of the poplar family, and its scientific name, Populus tremuloides, can give some indication of one of its characteristics, even if you do not know Latin. Unfortunately, the quaking asp...
Identify Psilocybe cubensis or Singer Cap by its white bell-shaped to broadly conical cap that is yellowish to brownish in the center. This fungus grows on horse manure nearly year round and reaches a height of 2 to 6 inches. This mushroom’s flesh turns bluish when bruised or cut...
This paper presents an experimental method allowing 3D measurements of the geometry of a standing mature tree to be closely linked to the spatial distribution of internal wood properties. The accuracy of the geometrical information is assessed from repeated measurements performed on 10 mature poplar tre...
The first widely used high-throughput technology for simultaneously determining the transcription levels of hundreds to thousands of genes in a short time was microarray analysis (Fig.2a) [73]. This technique, coupled with fluorescence-activated cell sorting, has been employed to identify and characte...

The camera would often take its own sweet time to wake up and identify me–especially irritating when I was trying to unlock 1Password to log into a site–leading me to resort to the keyboard to type in the laptop-specific passcode instead. Two things led me to drop a pattern of denial...
How to relate the standing tree shape to internal wood characteristics: proposal of an experimental method applied to poplar trees. Constant,T,Mothe,F,Badia,MA,Saint-André,L. Annals of Forest Science . 2003Constant, T., Mothe, F., Badia, M. & Saint-Andre´, L. (2003). How to ...
1. Wide wood planks One option is to buy individual planks. I found several different types of wood planks at my local home improvement store labeled various things including wood panel, common board, and shelf utility board. These planks tend to come in widths up to 12 inches, which are ...
Homeowners should learn to identify these pests, but an arborist is best suited to offer guidance, gauge tree health, and recommend effective control measures. Stay vigilant and you can help protect your trees, and wooded areas throughout your community. (The scene in the video above is n...
How To Find the Density of a Tree The density of a tree is calculated by taking the mass of dried wood and weighing it compared to green wet wood. This allows for the water to have been removed and pure wood density to be calculated. ...
