Abu HenaProblem statement: Mangrove forests are found in tropical and subtropical coastal tidal regions. Rhizophora apiculata Blume is one of the most important species in mangrove forest. It is also one of the commercial mangrove timber species in Asia-Pacific region which dominates large areas of mangrove in this region. In order to understand forest ecosystem characteristics and to establish the proper … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 10,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTree Volume Prediction Model of Cupressus lusitanica Species: in North-Western Highlands of EthiopiaYishak Adgo Kassie, Abebaw Alene YallewA significant basis of raw materials for the forest products industry is provided by Cupressus lusitanica, one of the commercial timber tree species found in the forest. Accurate tree and stand volume development models are necessary for intensive forest management to yield timber. The goal of this study was to develop and validate volume equations for Cupressus lusitanica tree species … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2025 · 5,936 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBotany, Ecology and Diversity of Acacia Koa in the Hawaiian IslandsKazue Lee Ishihara, Maia Corpuz, Clifford Wayne Morden, Dulal BorthakurAcacia koa (koa) is a valuable leguminous timber-wood tree endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Over the past century, conversion of some native forests for agriculture and ranching, uncontrolled spread of invasive plant species and outbreak of a deadly fungal wilt disease severely reduced A. koa forests. However, recently there has been a growing interest in re-establishing A. koa as an … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2017 · 9,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance, Biomass and Phytoextraction Efficiency of Acacia mangium and Melaleuca cajuputi in Remediating Heavy Metal Contaminated soilShibli Nik Mohd, Nik Muhamad Majid, Noor Azhar Mohamed Shazili, Arifin AbduHeavy metals are very toxic and soil contaminated with sewage sludge urgently need remediation in order to avoid related health hazards. Phytoremediation is a low cost and reliable technique to remediate heavy metal contamination. However phytoremediation using timber species was rarely reported and its efficiency was questionable. A field study was conducted to examine the efficiency of two timber species … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTermite Damage to Buildings: Nature of Attacks and Preventive Construction MethodsAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: Termites are an essential member of the soil ecosystem and are found throughout the world. In their natural environment, they improve soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and porosity by cycling dead organics. However, they can negatively impact human welfare by causing damage to unprotected timber structures, underground cables, earthen dams, irrigation ditches and farming equipment. Globally, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 26,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Individual Tree Counting of Nyatoh (Palaquium spp.) Using an Airborne SpectroradiometerKamaruzaman JusoffProblem statement: In Malaysia inadequate data are available to make decisions regarding the sustainable management of Nyatoh (Palaquium spp.). Factual data and estimation of Nyatoh in the lowland dipterocarp forest resources are still lacking or, if available, are not complete, reliable or up to date. The collection and compilation of information and updating of existing data in near real time … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBioinformatics Analysis of Xyloglucan Endotransglycosylase/Hydrolase (XTH) Gene from Developing Xylem of a Tropical Timber Tree Neolamarckia CadambaTiong Shing Yiing, Ho Wei Seng, Pang Shek Ling, Ismail JusohThis study reported the isolation and in silico characterization of a full-length Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/Hydrolase (XTH) cDNA from Neolamarckia cadamba, an important tropical light hardwood plantation tree species. XTH is considered as a key agent to regulate cell wall expansion and is believed to be responsible for the incorporation of newly synthesised xyloglucan into the wall matrix. The full-length of NcXTH … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2015 · 7,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIndividual Species Crown Mapping in Taman Rimba Ilmu, University Malaya Using Airborne Hyperspectral ImagingKamaruzaman JusoffProblem statement: Accurate, current and cost-effective individual standing tree data are required by forest management communities for use in forest inventory over large areas. Currently, most of the forest mapping process is done directly on the ground using many technique such as the bearing-distance and also the other technique that use the computer software as a support, such as Tree … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
