Revealing the changes of labile nitrogen(LN)fractions in soil aggregates of eucalypt plantations at different ages is of great significance for better understanding of soil nitrogen cycles in such plantations.In this study,the state-owned Daguishan forest farm in Guangxi was selected as the research area,and the soil of eucalypt plantations with different ages(1,2,4 years)along with some adjacent abandoned land(control)during traditional rotation period were selected as the research objects.The undisturbed soil samples of the 0~20 cm soil layer were collected and divided into 4 granular aggregates by the wet sieving method,including>2 mm,1~2 mm,0.25~1 mm and<0.25 mm.The contents of LN fractions in soil aggregates of different sizes were determined.The LN components include Particulate Organic Nitrogen(PON),Microbial Biomass Nitrogen(MBN),Ammonium Nitrogen(Ammonium Nitrogen),Nitrate Nitrogen(NH4+-N),Nitrate Nitrogen(NO3--N)and Alkali-hydrolyzable Nitrogen(AN).The results showed that the content of LN in soil aggregates increased significantly as aggregate size decreased in the soil of eucalypt plantations of different ages,resulting in more soil LN distributed in<0.25 mm aggregates.Overall,the content of LN in soil increased at first and then decreased after the planting of eucalypts,and the highest content was found when the plantation was 2-year-old,indicating that the soil nitrogen availability of eucalypt plantations was the highest at this age.Therefore,after eucalypt plantations reach age 2 years,attention should be paid to supplementing soil LN so as to maintain the nitrogen supply levels of eucalypt plantation soils.
In order to develop Eucalyptus cloeziana plantations,10 families of E.cloeziana were introduced from Australia to the southern Fujian mountains.The results showed that families 1212 and 1202 were the most excellent families,with average preservation rates of 85.56%at age 6 years.The average diameter at breast height(DBH),tree height,crown width,volume with bark and volume without bark were 15.42 cm,12.73 m,4.46 m,0.137 9 m3 and 0.116 4 m3,respectively.The genetic gains of above indicators were 8.56%,1.86%,4.83%,16.50%and 4.55%,respectively.The coefficient of variation of DBH,tree height,crown width,volume with bark and volume without bark ranged from 0.27%to 30.04%,belonging to the range of relatively small to moderate variation.The growth of trees within the family was relatively uniform,and the average wind damage index of selected families was 17.02%,lower than the population average of 14.98%.
The forest resources of Guangxi underwent great changes during the period from 2000 to 2021.The forest area increased from 9.819 million hm2 to 14.864 million hm2.The forest stock volume increased from 370.76 million m3 to 978.22 million m3.The forest covering rate increased from 41.32%to 62.55%.The forest land usage rate increased from 71.84%to 92.11%.The average annual growth rate increased from 4.09 m3·hm-2 to 7.97 m3·hm-2.The stock volume per hectare of forest land increased from 48.80 m3·hm-2 to 84.25 m3·hm-2.The annual growth of forests increased from 40.18 million m3 to 91.37 million m3,and the annual timber production increased from 16.37 million m3 to 38.99 million m3.Based on the results of continuous forest resource inventory in Guangxi from 2000 to 2021,the forest qualities were evaluated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)that included 5 main aspects(forest origin,forest structure,forest productivity,forest health,forest value)and 37 sub-classification indicators.The results showed that the forest quality increased from passing grade to good grade from 2000 to 2021.The reasons for improving forest quality were systematically analyzed,and the important factors for improving forest quality were policy driven,market lead and increased investment along with strong,scientific and technological support which provided for scientific resource management.In order to further increase the forest resource quantity and promote forest quality in Guangxi,adjusting the structure of forest types,forest species structure,stand age group structure,tending of young stands,moderately reducing forest harvesting in the future were proposed.
Tissue culture technology is an important means for the regeneration and reproduction of woody plants.This paper summarizes the research progress of tissue culture technology and molecular regulation mechanism of organ re-generation in woody plants.This scrutiny of research progress has made it clear that establishment of regeneration sys-tems for woody plants is closely related to internal factors(explant genotypes,physiological states,etc.)and external factors(plant hormones,culture conditions,etc.).Gene expression,hormone signaling pathways and other signaling pathways play key regulatory roles in the process of de novo regeneration of woody plant organs.The difficulty in induc-ing adventitious buds and roots can be a bottleneck in the regeneration of woody plants.In the future,regulatory mecha-nism of regeneration of woody plants should be further studied to improve the regeneration efficiency and quality of woody plants.
To identify key NAC transcription factors involved in wood formation,a NAC transcription factor gene EugNAC007 of the clone DH32-29 of Eucalyptus urophylla×E.grandis was cloned based on RNA sequencing data and its function analyzed.The coding DNA sequence length of the EugNAC007 gene was found to be 1 711 bp and encodes an acidic protein with 569 amino acid residues of molecular weight of 64.32 KD.The EugNAC007 protein contained a typical NAC domain at the N terminus and shared relatively high homology with the Arabidopsis NAC with TRANSMEMBRANE MOTIF1(AtNTM1)that regulates cell division.The results of RT-qPCR showed that EugNAC007 was predominantly expressed in xylem tissues.Overexpression of EugNAC007 in poplar suppressed growth of tree height.These results indicated that the EugNAC007 may participate in the processes of wood formation through the regulation of cell division,but the regulation mechanism is still unclear.This study advanced deep excavation of NAC transcription factors involved in wood formation processes in Eucalyptus.
In order to cultivate fast-growing,high-yield,high-quality and efficient Eucalyptus urophylla×E.grandis coppice plantations,an experiment was conducted on the number of coppice sprouts per stump.From the data obtained,the growth and economic benefits of a 7-year-old E.urophylla×E.grandis coppice plantation were studied and analyzed.The results showed that the individual size of the stems was proportional to the volume of standing trees,and the maximum output value and profit rate could be obtained when the number of sprouts per stump was 2.It proved reasonable to select the effective number of stems per hectare at 1 755~2 025 for the cultivation of E.urophylla×E.grandis coppice plantations.The stand differentiation of retaining the above number of stems was not obvious,the yield was the highest and the economic benefit was maximized,which was suitable for promotion in afforestation practice.
In order to facilitate the swift and precise calculation of eucalypt forest volumes using relative tree height curve models for use in Guangxi eucalypt plantations,an optimal relative tree height curve model was developed using data gathered from 336 sample plots.The model was generated by fitting relative diameter(RDi)as the independent variable against relative tree height(RHi)as the dependent variable(RHi=(1-e-0.512 38)-0.826 11×(1-e-0.512 38×RDi)0.826 11).The model underwent validation,with the total relative error and average systematic error both falling below 2%,the mean percent standard error being less than 6%,and the estimation accuracy exceeding 99.7%.Through testing by tree species,region,and different forest stands based on average breast diameter and average tree height segments,the model displayed total relative errors and average systematic errors within 5%,with mean percent standard errors below 10%,and an estimation accuracy exceeding 98.0%.This suggests that the eucalypt relative tree height curve model developed is well-suited and versatile.It offers a rapid and precise method for estimating forest volume in the context of forest resource planning and design surveys,logging area design surveys,and forest resource asset assessments in Guangxi eucalypt forests.
Eucalypt has made great contributions to maintaining national timber security,promoting economic development and helping rural revitalization.The early use of eucalypt was mainly concentrated in the traditional industrial fields such as pulp and paper,fiberboard and plywood.The development potential was limited,the raw material consumption was large,the labor force was intensive,the product grade was low,and the processing level was shallow.Development of newer ways of eucalypt utilization is now urgently needed,along with developing new products to enable industrial upgrading.In recent years,through the joint efforts of eucalypt science and technology workers and production practitioners,new breakthroughs have been made in new ways of eucalypt utilization.These new ways mainly involve:(1)Cultivation of large-diameter timber to support increased solid wood utilization;(2)Production of viscose fiber to improve product value;(3)Cultivation of biomass energy forests for production of green energy;(4)Cultivation of ornamental eucalyptus for landscaping;(5)Extraction and processing eucalypt by-products to support development of new industries.This paper makes a comprehensive review of scientific research and industrial development progress in these five aspects with aim of providing a reference for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the eucalypt industry.
Monitoring and studying forest diseases and pests can better protect and manage forest resources,reduce the impact of diseases and pests on ecosystems,and improve the potential for sustainable forest development.Conventional forest pest and disease monitoring mainly uses image scale feature recognition to obtain monitoring results,neglecting the impact of vegetation moisture content on images which can result in significant errors in interpreting results.Therefore,this study of forest pest monitoring based on multi-spectral remote sensing images was proposed.The core spectra of forest multispectral remote sensing images were extracted step by step,the spectral response based on the multispectral remote sensing images was calculated.Next,the characteristic vectors of diseases and pests were obtained,the characteristics of forest diseases and pests were identified and the monitoring results of forest diseases and pests were generated by hierarchical classification according to the water content of forest vegetation.The results showed that the monitoring data obtained by the proposed method have a small error,with an average of only 0.010 125,indicating that the monitoring effect is good.By using this method,the degree of pests and disease incidence can be detected early and the trends of their spread monitored.Therefore,multispectral remote sensing images can help prevent further spread of pests and diseases,help to limit the damage to forests and meet the practical needs of forest protection.
A large amount of glyphosate herbicide is used in eucalypt afforestation.When the applied glyphosate exceeds the soil's degradation capacity,glyphosate cannot be quickly broken down and remains in the soil potentially affecting soil health and fertility.In order to investigate whether there is potential to reduce glyphosate use in eucalypt afforestation and to explore the short-term change rules of glyphosate residue in soils,this study examined a third generation Eucalyptus urophylla×E.grandis plantation as the research object.The standard local glyphosate concentration(3.375 kg a.i.·hm-2)was set as 100%base treatment,and then doses of 50%,75%and 125%of the base treatment were applied along with an artificial(manual)weeding treatment.Soil surface(0~20 cm)and subsurface(20~40 cm)soil samples were collected at 10,50 and 100 days after spraying the glyphosate to test herbicide impacts on the soil.The results showed that there was no significant difference in weeding effect between the 75%reduction treatment and the 100%local standard concentration treatment.Except for the 125%concentration treatment,the residual amount of glyphosate in surface and subsurface soil reached the international safety standard(<0.1 mg·kg-1)by 100 days after application.The detection rate of AMPA(a decomposition product of glyphosate)increased with time up to 100 days.The ranks of glyphosate half-life were:high concentration treatment>low concentration treatment,50~100 d>10~50 d,and 0~20 cm>20~40 cm.The results showed that the 75%reduction treatment can achieve expected effects,indicating that there is space for reduction of glyphosate application in eucalypt plantations whilst the use of additives could potentially further reduce the amounts of glyphosate applied.Overall,it was clear that glyphosate half-life in eucalypt plantation soil is positively correlated with the concentration of chemical applied and that it is shorter in surface than deeper soil layers.
Species of contaminated bacteria found in eucalypt tissue cultures were investigated by morphological and molecular biology methods in order to potentially reduce the incidence of deleterious contamination of such cultures.In total 50 species representing 25 genera of microorganism were identified from tissue culture bottles,including 7 species from 6 genera of bacteria along with 43 species from 19 genera of fungi,equating to 14.0%of contaminants being bacte-ria and 86.0%being fungi.Eucalypt subculture seedlings were mainly contaminated by Luteibacter yeoj uensis along with Penicillium spp.and Aspergillus spp.each with 5 species.Later after transplanting,it was found that eucalypt explants were contaminated by 21 species representing 11 genera of fungi and 1 species of bacteria.
Data from published literature on biomass measurements of Eucalyptus spp.(including E.urophylla×E.grandis,E.grandis×E.urophylla,E.urophylla×E.tereticornis and E.urophylla),Acacia spp.(including A.mangium,A.melanoxylon,A.auriculiformis,A.confusa and A.trinervata)and Pinus elliottii forests in different locations in China were collected and analyzed.The characteristics of three common estimation coefficients of biomass(biomass conversion and expansion factor BCEF,biomass expansion factor BEF,and root/shoot ratio R)in different forests and the relation-ship with stand structure characteristics(stand age,mean DBH,mean tree height,stand density,and standing volume),climatic factors(annual average temperature and annual average precipitation)and topographic factors(elevation)were summarized and differences examined.The results showed that the mean BCEF values of Eucalyptus spp.,Acacia spp.,and P.elliottii forests averaged 0.66 Mg·m-3,0.98 Mg·m-3 and 0.69 Mg·m-3,respectively,the mean BEF values were 1.26,1.61 and 1.66 respectively,and the mean R values were 0.19,0.23 and 0.22 respectively.The main factors influenc-ing the biomass estimation coefficients of Eucalyptus forests were tree height and stand density,while the biomass esti-mation coefficients of Acacia forests were mainly affected by DBH and stocking volume.Estimated biomass coefficients for P.elliottii forests were not significantly influenced by stand structural characteristics,but mainly by climatic factors(mean annual temperature,mean annual precipitation)and topographic factors(elevation).Therefore,differences in bio-mass estimation coefficients due to stand structure characteristics and climatic and topographic factors should be taken into account when estimating biomass of planted forests at the regional scale.
