Essays on Trees

Most people usually only see rubber trees in pots. For years they have been widely used and sold as popular house plants for decoration. Some people don’t even realize that they can be used for making rubber. Commonly seen as being only one to four feet tall, rubber trees can exceed a height of twenty feet in the Amazon, where they are allowed to grow as high as they want. While trees here are used for their beauty, in the Amazon, and other places of the world, they are cultivated for their ...

Floristic studies are fundamental requirement for research, which includes creating a list of collected species of flora and understanding ecology or the distribution of plant species to a certain area. It is also taken out by the researchers to gather samples depending on the objectives. Numerous studies about floristic diversity in distinct parts of the world have been conducted in such, that it acts as a guide that will help for other future research studies. Apart from inventory, ...

A large oak tree can transpire 40,000 gallons of water every year. Like other plants, trees are known to have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the air and produce oxygen. On a sunny day, you may have found the shade cover provided by a tree as a huge relief from the beaming sun. Trees offer much more benefits than just providing shade and absorbing carbon dioxide. Some of the more important benefits tress provide are significant air temperature reduction, clean smog from the air, and ...

Fences are a characteristic method to make protection on your property. They can likewise decrease road commotion, wind and snow. Arborvitae is extraordinary compared to other trees for making a support. They can grow up to 60 feet tall, with a width of from 2 to 15 feet. This North American local tree has all year thick, dim green foliage. The tree's leaves, which were once utilized as a solution for the ailment, have a scale-like appearance. Sorts of arborvitae incorporate the eastern ...

Deflection prediction of tensile strength within a beam helps determine if the structural beam is airworthy. An experiment was conducted to show the process of a piece of wood, weighed down by a bucket of water to measure deflection, using the Euler Beam Deflection Formula and Young’s Modulus, to find the maximum deflection after applied loads. The wood is supported by barstools that are the cantilevers for the beam. The experiment called for a string attached to a bucket in the center of the ...

To examine the feasibility of branch of Acacia mangium with diameter less than 8 cm as a raw material for pulp production, we carried out a systematic fundamental study. Those branches are usually left on the ground as logging wastes in a plantation. Based on their pulp characteristics, we concluded that the quality of branches of A. mangium is as good as its trunks as raw materials for pulp and paper production. It was also suggested that yield and qualities of pulps might not be spoiled ...

INTRODUCTION The image of bamboo usually reflects the characteristic of Asian and tropical countries context. As in Indonesia, it is easy to find bamboo plant with various kind of species in almost every region of the country. Scientist indicate that 1,250 bamboo species found in all around the world and 11 percent of them are local endemic to Indonesia. Bamboo plant is environmentally friendly, easy to cultivate, can be harvested after 3-5 years, evades erosion, improves soil water content, ...

It is assumed that some species of Salmon is a rich source of nutrients for the nearby plants of any water bodies like (stream, lakes, river etc). After the spawning period, these salmons died and their remains are the rich source of Nitrogen for the plants. Experiment was conducted in the North America on various streams where the Salmonberry plant was selected. The main objective was is to assess the effect of Nitrogen on the Stomatal Density of the leaves of above mentioned plant. Sample ...

The sustainable management of forests for multiple uses requires fine-scale resource information for a range of attributes. Remotely sensed imagery, if appropriately interpreted, can provide detailed, quantitative data for deriving forest information. This paper describes the tree identification and delineation algorithm (TIDA), an image analysis tool designed to delineate tree crowns automatically in high spatial resolution digital imagery. The (local) radiometric maxima and minima are the ...

The invasive Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) is a phloem feeding beetle, which has devasted ash trees (Fraxinus spp. ) throughout North American. The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was discovered in southeastern Michigan and was soon after discovered in Ontario, Canada (Haack et al. 2002). The feeding behaviours of EAB block the flow of phloem within the effected ash tree, causing mortality within as little as 2 years. Much of the current scientific literature deals with the basic information ...

According to an estimate, in India by the year 2020 there will be a requirement of 526 Mt of dry fodder, 855 Mt of green fodder and 56 Mt of concentrate feed (Dikshit and Birthal 2010). As compared to plane (plain) regions, the fodder demand of hilly regions is met mostly from the forest (13.01 kg) and rest from non-forest lands (8.81 kg), whereas, in the plane areas fodder requirement is fulfilled largely from the non-forest lands (33.62 kg) and forest provide a meager portion of the fodder ...

Growing up, my parents religiously watched CBC News. To avoid living in a bubble, they were keen on staying informed about events happening all over the world. Naturally, as I got older, my interest in global issues become more prominent as well. Watching the news was a form of learning. Reporters covered a variety of topics ranging from the Gaza Strip conflict to the rise of Facebook. Recently, I came across an article titled, “The Impact that 2°C of Global Warming will have on the Planet” ...

A forest is a substantial zone ruled by trees. Many more exact meanings of forest are utilized all through the world, fusing elements, for example, tree thickness, tree stature, arrive utilize, lawful standing and environmental function. As indicated by the broadly used Nourishment and Horticulture Association definition, timberlands secured four billion hectares (9.9×109 sections of land) (15 million square miles) or roughly 30% of the world's property region in 2006. Human culture and woods ...

Temperate climatic regions (Hogarth 2015). These warm, temperate mangrove stands typically contain fewer species (sometimes only a single species) than stands in the tropics (Hogarth 2015). The complex prop-roots and pneumatophores of mangrove trees form a solid substrate within the intertidal and subtidal zones in estuaries, where they provide suitable habitat for a wide diversity of other floral and faunal life (Ellison and Farnsworth 1992). Mangrove forests are considered one of the most ...

Ever wondered what is happening in the world that we live in, today in the 21st century, should it been better than the past in fact it should have been easier for us humans of this millennium to live in peace and in a greener healthier environment when so much research has been done and we now have so much more information than our for fathers, science has helped us in getting to know better about ourselves and the earth our planet and the world that we live in but in my opinion things have ...
