Effects of Shade and Planting Methods on the Growth of Heracleum moellendorffii and Adenophora divaricata in Different Soil Moisture and Nutrient Conditions

Woo Bin Youn et al.

Summary: Shading can enhance the height growth of Heracleum moellendorffii, while Adenophora divaricata grows better in full sunlight; the competitive ability of H. moellendorffii can suppress the growth of A. divaricata; light, soil moisture, and nutrients play significant roles in influencing the growth of these two species.

The Use of Deep Container and Heterogeneous Substrate as Potentially Effective Nursery Practice to Produce Good Quality Nodal Seedlings of Populus sibirica Tausch

Byung Bae Park et al.

Summary: Nursery practices, such as container depth and substrate heterogeneity, were investigated for their effects on the growth of Populus sibirica nodal seedlings. Deeper containers and heterogeneous substrate were found to improve root and stem biomass of the seedlings, suggesting their effectiveness in producing quality seedlings suitable for harsh conditions like arid environments. Further studies incorporating different morphological traits and field-trial tests are needed to definitively assess the efficacy of these practices in dry environments.

Effects of ontogenetic stage and leaf age on leaf functional traits and the relationships between traits in Pinus koraiensis

Meng Ji et al.

Summary: The study found that leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) increased significantly with ontogenetic stage and leaf age, while nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) content decreased. Most trait-trait relationships were consistent with the leaf economic spectrum, but there were some differences across different ontogenetic stages and leaf ages.
