Dogwood anthracnose can quickly travel from foliage to wood and kill the tree.
In that work, a chronosequence approach was used to analyse nutrient concentrations in foliage, bark, wood and branches in teak plantations aged from 1 to 19 years old.
A quantitative evaluation of structural attributes, like the vertical foliage and wood area profiles, as well as the shoot orientation distribution, was performed.
These models estimated the concentrations of nutrients in several tree tissues (foliage, bark, wood and branches) depending on tree age, and are based on representative teak plantations where the nutritional status is considered as adequate.
The biomass of tree components (foliage, bark, wood and branches) was also measured, and nutrient accumulation in tree biomass was estimated by multiplying nutrient concentration by biomass (Fernández-Moya, Murillo et al. 2014) as part of the same study described in Fernández-Moya et al. (2013).
Besides Oligocene leaves and fruits presented here, foliage and/or wood of Bauhinia have been documented from the Miocene Pliocene of Thailand, India, Nepal, Uganda, and Ecuador.
Meanwhile, this family has an abundant and diverse fossil record, and its characteristic fruits, flowers, pollen, foliage, and wood have been well recognized from numerous Cenozoic localities around the world [ 65, 66].
The Northeast is celebrated for the cycle of its seasons: flaming fall foliage, deep-woods winterscapes, dense green springs and languorous summers when the humidity thickens every breath.
I visited Khosla's foliage-clad, wood-paneled (and exuberantly purple) offices to learn about Chung's journey in helping make the world a greener place - and how his inner performer influences his strategy.
Plant-feeding species may eat foliage, bore in wood or fruit, and attack roots or blossoms; any part of a plant may be a food source for some type of beetle.
