Read Full License Loading [MathJax]/jax/output/CommonHTML/jax.js Page 1/14 Abstract Background: The aboveground biomass (AGB) of shrubs and small trees is the main component for the productivity and carbon storage of understory vegetation in subtropical natural secondary forests. However, few allometric models exist for shrubs and small trees, even though they can accurately evaluate understory vegetative biomass. Methods: To estimate the ABG of six common shrub and small tree species, we utilized harvesting to sample 206 individuals, and developed species-specic and multi-species allometric models based on four predictors including height (H), stem diameter (D), crown area (Ca), and wood density (ρ). Results: As expected, these six shrub and small tree species possessed greater biomass in their stems in contrast to branches, with the lowest biomass in the leaves. Species-specic allometric models that employed D and the combined variables of D2H and ρDH as predictors, could accurately estimate the components and total AGB, with R2 values ranging from between 0.602 and 0.971.

  • Camellia Through the Winter
    Cornwall Hardy Plant Society. Page 1 of 14 CORNWALL GROUP NEWSLETTER FOR December 2019 It's a strange time of the year. Christmas is on everybody's mind but it's too early to wallow in it. The autumn has finished but there are still strange things hanging on. I saw a display of Miscanthus last week, the dead flowering stems festooned with the fluffy white seed heads capturing the low winter light to magnificent effect. At the other extreme, spring has started to appear. The first flashes of the new year can be found if you look hard enough. The earliest Galanthus elwesii cultivars should be in flower before Christmas along with the earliest daffodils. I have a single Leucojum vernum in reckless flower and I have just seen the first Camellia 'Drama Girl' in a garden. It was a single bud that had got confused (they aren't very intelligent) but it lived up to its name. Camellia through the winter. 'Drama Girl' may be an unusual sight in the late autumn, but there have been camellias in flower for some time. Pam Dormand brought the first flowers of Camellia sasanqua to the October meeting and others have been appearing in the 3-stems competition since then. Camellia japonica and C. x williamsii cultivars will come into their own at the end of February, they play a major part in Cornish gardens. It is quite difficult avoid growing one or two just for the burst of pink they provide as the yellow lava of daffodils erupts from the ground.

From March 11 to March 15, 2014 Published / Desing / Develope by Deputación de Pontevedra, Spain Deposito legal: PO 602-2014 ISBN: AE-2014-14013640 PRESENTATION 2014 Pontevedra International Camellia Congress The city of Pontevedra, an important camellia producer, will host this world-renowned event organized by the Deputación de Pontevedra (Provincial Government of Ponteve- dra) through the Rías Baixas Tourist Board and the Estación Fitopatolóxica de Areeiro. The Congress is also supported by the Xunta de Galicia (Regional Government of Galicia), the University of Santiago de Compostela, the National Research Council and the Juana de Vega Foundation. The Congress will be an important forum for the discussion and presentation of works on the different fields related to the camellia plant; touristic, artistic, plastic and botanic, and its uses and applications, combining scientific sessions and visits to the historic -gar dens in Pontevedra province. The aim of this congress will be to exchange and transfer the results of the camellia research and its products among the participating countries so as to develop and enjoy our natural resources. This event will be pioneer since it is the first time that a camellia congress is held in Spain. The Rías Baixas in the Pontevedra province are a camellia garden that brings colour and 1 light to our autumns, winters and springs in streets, squares, gardens, castles and mon- asteries. In this region, the camellias are magnificent trees of amazing beauty.
