Water is a crucial component for plant growth and survival. Accurately estimating and
simulating plant water content can help us promptly monitor the physiological status and …

The correct identification of plants is a common necessity not only to researchers but also to
the lay public. Recently, computational methods have been employed to facilitate this task …

We studied the influence of little leaf disease and pine wood nematodes' presence on Pinus
taeda anatomical and physiological traits. Branches and leaves were collected in two stands …

Global commercial and recreational transport may lead to the unintentional invasion of
insect species, which in turn may pose a threat to native organisms. In this study, we aimed …

With allelopathic composts, potential merits for preventing initial weed infestations have
been observed in crop transplantation. However, previous studies have rarely investigated …

Studies of needle xylem structure (NXS) are of importance in understanding the survival,
and functioning of conifers, particularly in response to environmental stressors. Herein, I …

Two new species, Pinus uniseriata and P. nanfengensis, were described on the basis of
lignified fossil woods from the late Miocene of the Xianfeng Basin (central Yunnan …

Features of leaf morphology such as secretory duct distribution and venation patterns are
important taxonomical tools; however, some species can have variation in these traits. This …

Economic progress affects the intensity of commercial and recreational transport globally.
The combination of these two factors may lead to the unintended dispersion and subsequent …

The growth and development of conifers are related to the capacity for photosynthesis and
gas exchange in their persistent leaves (needles), as well as related to the long-term …
