These results imply that treatments resulting in clumped tree distribution and basal areas <10 m2 ha−1 will be more successful in restoring native understory plant biomass in dense stands.
To accomplish this task we used an object-based image segmentation technique capable of detecting individual (or clumped) tree canopies (henceforth image segmentation) (ENVI Feature Extraction module, ITT Visual Information Solutions, Boulder, CO) to delineate woody canopies.
Whereas A. mono was effectively outcrossed (tm= 0.901, tm−ts= 0.052, and the number of effective sires was 1/rpm= 14.93) in the continuous forest, clumped trees within the fragmented forest showed increased biparental inbreeding and reduced pollen pool genetic diversity (tm= 0.959, tm−ts= 0.245,1/rpm= 1.742) as a result of localized mating combined with spatial genetic structures.
"As in Japanese art, the fewer the brush strokes, the better". At the show, Matson won second place in the category of clumped trees (korabuki) for a thick-rooted olive.
The ball came to rest near a huge clump of tree limbs that blocked Els's path back to the fairway.
He pointed to a clump of trees on a nearby ridge: "Look at the stand of trees by itself, illuminated".
These toilets are usually a clump of trees, in the centre of their territory, away from the trees they sleep or feed in.
Sample tweet: "Apparently we are passing 'Clump of Trees Wood,' on the M1.
This year I'm finding two or three clumps per tree".
