Do individuals prefer stimuli that are ordered or disordered, simple or complex, or that strike the right balance of order and complexity? Earlier research mainly focused on the separate influence of order and complexity on aesthetic appreciation. When order and complexity were studied in combination, stimulus manipulations were often not parametri...
Wood characteristics of trees grown in agroforestry systems are still little studied, while their growth conditions are different from conventional stands. This work focused on the impact of the agroforestry system on the lignin/cellulose ratio of hybrid poplar trees. One disk sample was harvested on 6 agroforestry (AF) and 6 forest control (FC) po...
The article discusses the principles of designing a measuring device for determining the age of a tree. The analysis of existing methods for determining the age of the tree is carried out. A non-destructive method based on the use of ultrasonic energy is proposed. The information received is layered, in annual layers. / В статье рассмотрены принцип...
The article discusses the issues of forest canopy research. A solution to the problem of monitoring the state of the stand by probing with a high-frequency electromagnetic wave is proposed. This solution will find application in taxation and other Forestwork. / В статье рассмотрены вопросы исследования лесного полога. Предложено решение проблемы мо...
Cocoa fields in West Africa traditionally kept other tree species to provide shade for cocoa trees and obtain food and other products. Measuring other trees is paramount to monitoring environmental conditions in cocoa agroforests, but it has been difficult to apply at a large scale. This study presents the results of a rapid assessment method appli...
Статья посвящена экологии современного города, рассмотрена проблема нехватки зеленых насаждений новостроек. В ходе исследования проведен анализ имеющихся насаждений и разработаны рекомендации по улучшению озеленения новостроек в г. Архангельске. По результатам исследования на территории отмечены следующие древесные виды: береза пушистая, береза пов...
While human perception can play a role in influencing public support for species conservation, the mechanisms underlying human perception remain poorly understood. Some previous studies on perception have focused on a few specific taxa, which makes the understanding of the public perception of species at large a resource- and time-intensive task. H...

RATIONALE: Cassava production faces challenges in a changing climate. Pulse labelling cassava with 13 C-CO2 has the potential to elucidate carbon allocation mechanisms of cassava under drought stress and with potassium application. Understanding these mechanisms could guide efforts to mitigate effects of drought in cassava cropping systems. METHODS...
