Betula pendula L. is one of the forest trees having local distribution areas in Turkey. When it had a wide distribution area during Late Glacial time of Turkey, its distribution decreased at the end of Late Quaternary. The purpose of the paper is to discuss its past and present distribution in Turkey, climate features in growing areas by focusing on the lowest distribution area...
Geophytes are the most preferred group among the ornamental plants due to their aesthetic features, suitability to be cut flowers and their fragrance. The aim of the research is to identify geophyte taxa, their risk categories and economic potentialities as ornamental plants in Iğdır province. Plant specimens were collected from Iğdır province between 2007 and 2012 vegetation...
Turkey has 40 gymnosperm taxa belonging to 4 families. The ethnomedicinal data of gymnosperms in Turkey was evaluated in this study. Thirty nine ethnobotanical and traditional medicinal published materials which were carried out in different areas of Turkey used in this study. 20 plant taxa belonging to 4 families have been detected from 40 published literature. 20 taxa have...
In this study, the effects of the increasing doses of vermicompost implementation [0 % (VC1), 3 % (VC2), 5 % (VC3), 7 % (VC4)] on some heavy metal contents of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. have been investigated. With the increasing doses of vermicompost implementation, Cr, Co, Cd, Ni and Pb contents of cucumber decreased. While the Cr content of cucumber is 65.94 mg/kg with the...
The tropical dry deciduous forests of Mirzapur district in Uttar Pradesh (state) in India are facing severe threat from agricultural expansion, increased urbanization, infrastructure development and unsustainable use of forest produce. As a result the forests are now fragmented and wildlife habitat is vanishing. Dwindling numbers of wild animal species has become a cause of...
Mining is known to demolish the natural ecosystem adjacent to mining sites all over world and it generates massive volumes of wastes which are dumped adjacent to mining areas resulting in damage to the natural ecosystem, reducing herbaceous ground cover and wildlife. Hinustan Copper Mines (HCM) is the Asia’s largest open cast copper mines and produces 70 % copper for the Indian...

Land use is recently being taken in consider among ecologists thus the global imbalances of biological and mineral aspects on earth raised and have been retaining since last century with births of undescribed and introduced problematic issues. One of the most threatening effect of those global problems is extinction of food and water resources. Soil utilization, land management...

The Nordic Institute of Asian Studies published in 2016 a book by Andrew Cock on the politics of forestry in Cambodia that deserves the attention of forest and development experts. Andrew Cock is currently Research Associate at the United Nations University in Tokyo and conducted extensive field work in Cambodia as a consultant with the NGO forum between 2000 and 2004.
Vegetation classification for any area involves analysis of trees, shrubs and ground cover. These strata are the primary features to characterize the vegetation. Species density and diversity depends on several topographic and climatic variations. Patterns of species density, richness and diversity of different vegetation types were analyzed in Bijrani, Serpdulli and Dhikala...
A study was conducted at the tropical dry forest of Bandipur, south India, to understand the impact of dry season fire on survival and mortality of different species. A total of 4235 trees belonging to 66 species were enumerated in both burnt and un-burnt areas of Bandipur National Park. Standard vegetation indices were calculated to characterize the natural vegetation of the...
In this study we assessed the tree ring structure modifications and the relation with climate in Scots pine from Aleșd region (Romania). Tree rings structures were analysed based on microscopic sections obtained from the core sample. The analysis on the area of the incomplete lignified cells (IC) and the lignified cells (CL) was made. The results show a high frequency of false...
