A simple snowmelt parameterization for an Arctic site
Description :
Daily snow melt rates and corresponding changes in snow depth were determined through micrometeorological measurements of surface radiation and energy partition at Ny-Alesund (Svalbard Islands) during a short experimental campaign. The daily rates computed using micrometeorological techniques closel...

Isoprenoid emission in trees of Quercus pubescens and Quercus ilex with lifetime exposure to naturally high CO2 environment
Description :
The long-term effect of elevated atmospheric CO2 on isoprenoid emissions from adult trees of two Mediterranean oak species (the monoterpene-emitting Quercus ilex L. and the isoprene-emitting Quercus pubescens Willd.) native to a high-CO2 environment was investigated. During two consecutive years, is...

Some observations on the relationship of manifest and hidden esca to rainfall
Description :
This paper reports observations on the relationship between the yearly incidence of manifest esca (i.e. diseased plants which show foliar symptoms), hidden esca (that which remains asymptomatic throughout a growing season) and rainfall. Data from three vineyards (two in Tuscany and one in Emilia-Rom...

Spatial variability of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) yield as related to soil parameters in a small field
Description :
The harvested biomass of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is generally much lower than its potential; this may be due to several factors including not recovering all the biomass at harvest, weed competition, pests, disease and spatial variation of soil features. The objective of this research was t...

Wood discoloration and decay in grapevines with esca proper and their relationship with foliar symptoms
Description :
From two Italian vineyards affected with esca proper, vineyard A (Borghi, FC, Emilia-Romagna) and vineyard B (Controguerra, TE, Abruzzo), located in different wine-growing areas and with different cultivars, 165 vines were collected that had shown the leaf symptoms of esca proper in the years before...

Applications of Trichoderma to prevent Phaeomoniella chlamydospora infections in organic nurseries
Description :
In order to prevent or reduce infection in grapevine nurseries, greenhouse and nursery trials were carried out to evaluate the effects of Trichoderma harzianum (Rootshield') on the morpho-physiological characteristics of grapevine and on Phaeomoniella chlamydospora artificially inoculated on potted ...

Terpene emission in tissue culture
Description :
Tissue cultured plants' vessel headspace is subject to changes during subculture, and the analysis of its variation offers a non-destructive approach for monitoring plant physiology. Among the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be released by plants and be potentially recovered in the airspa...

Micropropagation of Ailanthus altissima and in vitro heavy metal tolerance
Author(s) :
Gatti E.
Description :
Ailanthus altissima, a fastgrowing and contaminationresistant species is investigated for its use in areas contaminated by heavy metals. A micropropagation protocol for A. altissima was developed, cultured shoots were tested for in vitro heavy metals tolerance. Proliferation rate and shoot length ...

Mineral composition and ash content of six major energy crops
Description :
The chemical composition of biofuels has not received adequate attention given that it is an important aspect in the introduction of energy crops. In this study, the ash content and mineral composition (C, N, Al, Ca, Cl, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, S, Si) of stems, leaves and reproductive organs of some promi...

Description :
We analyzed the response of potted strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) seedlings exposed to water stress by withholding water for 10 d (WS). Leaf water potential, net CO2 assimilation, and stomatal conductance decreased with increasing water deficit. A 30 % reduction of chlorophyll (Chl) content in t...
