Newly found leaf arrangement to reduce self-shading within a crown in Japanese monoaxial tree species
A newly found leaf arrangement to reduce self-shading was observed in a Japanese warm-temperate forest. For monoaxial trees that deploy leaves...

A comprehensive crown profile model of planted Larix kaempferi from different latitudes in China
Crown profile has been the key indicator for assessing tree vigor and has many potential applications in forest growth modelling and forest...

The Plasmodesmal Protein OsGER4 is Involved in Auxin Mediated Crown Root Development in Rice
In rice ( Oryza sativa L.), the root system plays different essential roles, from water and nutrient uptake to responding to environmental signals....

Crown displacement of planted Korean pine as a strategy for adapting to biotic and abiotic factors in northeast China
Key messageKorean pine trees expressed significant crown displacement. Nearest neighbor competition had the largest effect on the crown displacement...

Temporal Dynamics of Tree Crown Fractal Dimension in Two Species of Deciduous Oaks
Fractal dimension ( D ) can be used to characterise temporal changes of crown architecture of individual trees. Our goal in this study was to analyse...

Predicting crown width and length using nonlinear mixed-effects models: a test of competition measures using Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.)
Key message Including individual-tree competition indices as predictor variables could significantly improve the performance of crown width and length...

Effects of tree crown height on the flow hydrodynamics and tsunami energy reduction around the coastal forest
Coastal forest acts as a natural solution against floods and tsunami events; however, the difference in the management techniques can significantly...

Branching out: species-specific canopy architecture limits live crown fuel consumption in Intermountain West USA conifers
BackgroundAccurate estimates of available live crown fuel loads are critical for understanding potential wildland fire behavior. Existing crown fire...

A juvenile bird with possible crown-group affinities from a dinosaur-rich Cretaceous ecosystem in North America
BackgroundLiving birds comprise the most speciose and anatomically diverse clade of flying vertebrates, but their poor early fossil record and the...

Why not be random to build a woody crown network?
We compared the decomposition, topology, and properties of 58 natural woody crown networks (WCN) from Cerrado and Caatinga vegetation with the same...

First report of crown rot on lettuce caused by Phytophthora crassamura in Japan
During harvest in August 2017, wilting lettuces with crown rot were observed in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. Fungi with aseptate hyphae were isolated...

The role of tree crown on the performance of trees at individual and community levels: whole-phenotypic context matters
Functional traits offer insights into plant performance. However, linking traits to individual tree performance requires considering the overall...

Single-tree crown shape and crown volume models for Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold in central Italy
Key message The crown volume of
Pinus nigra trees can be modelled as a function of the total crown length and the crown radius at crown base to...
-
Develo** nonlinear additive tree crown width models based on decomposed competition index and tree variables
Crown development is closely related to the biomass and growth rate of the tree and its width (CW) is an important covariable in growth and yield...

Involvement of reactive oxygen species in zinc-deficiency induced inhibition of crown root growth in maize plant
Background and aimsThe levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide anion radical (O 2 •− ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) increase in...

A novel post-fire method to estimate individual tree crown scorch height and volume using simple RPAS-derived data
BackgroundAn accurate understanding of wildfire impacts is critical to the success of any post-fire management framework. Fire severity maps are...

Modeling the influence of competition, climate, soil, and their interaction on height to crown base for Korean pine plantations in Northeast China
Height to crown base (HCB) is an important tree-level characteristic used to determine crown size and serves as an important input variable for...

Novel QTL for Lateral Root Density and Length Improve Phosphorus Uptake in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The rice root system consists of two types of lateral roots, indeterminate larger L-types capable of further branching, and determinate, short,...

A novel QTL conferring Fusarium crown rot resistance on chromosome 2A in a wheat EMS mutant
Key messageA novel QTL on chromosome 2A for Fusarium crown rot resistance was identified and validated in wheat.
AbstractFusarium crown rot (FCR) is...
