Swietenia macrophylla is a fast-growing emergent tree (≥1 cm yr−1 diameter increment under favorable conditions), but its seedlings and saplings require at least small-scale canopy openings to reach maturity [20], [21], [31], [37], [38].
Results showed that cherry trees with small pedicel fruit retention force, small canopy size and heavy fruit load had higher harvest rate for mechanical harvesting.
This study showed that superabsorbent application has a positive effect on establishment and other indices such as plant height, large and small canopy diameter and collar diameter.
Further on is the 288-square-foot master bedroom, which, like much of the rest of the house has been furnished with Victorian antiques, including a half-tester bed, which has a small canopy.
Although accurate for larger canopies, the imperfect alignment of RGB and thermal images introduced significant errors in the calculations of sunlit leaves surface temperature in images with small canopy coverage.
alleghaniensis), and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) were planted in a randomized block design under natural deciduous canopy and within small canopy gaps with a single application of lime and NPK at time of planting in 2003.
harvest gaps had, on average, the minimum number of saplings (∼2 stems m−2) needed to fill dominant positions in small canopy openings, but, by year 12, small gaps were closed by crown extension of mature edge trees.
According to our simulations, pioneers can persist until the late successional stage because of their long lifespans and the occurrence of small canopy openings (<1.6 ha) produced by windstorms.
Aggregation of cutting units should be limited and there is a need to create more small canopy openings in the landscape if we are to emulate naturally created patterns.
