Nature classifies all trees into three main groups. Deciduous trees shed leaves seasonally. Evergreen trees remain green year-round. Coniferous trees reproduce using cones. These categories explain ...
• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...
Contrary to what is generally assumed, the diversity of qualitative chemicals among species of eastern deciduous forest trees is high. Qualitative defenses (e.g., alkaloids) that supplement ...
If you are thinking of planting deciduous fruit trees, now is the time to plan for this project. In the coming weeks, bare-root deciduous fruit trees will be arriving in nurseries. Unfortunately, in ...
