Spatial variability of soil hydraulic properties was measured in a forested hillslope and analyzed by applying combined water-retention-hydraulic-conductivity models (the LN and VG models) and a power function model for ...

Kutai National Park, covering an area of 200 000 ha, is a rich tropical ecosystem with highly diverse habitat types ranging from coastal forest (mangrove) to mixed dypterocarps. It is a habitat of three endemic mammal ...

We studied the use of mineland wetlands by birds and the relationship between avian communities and wetland characteristics. Data were collected from 20 wetlands in Pike County, Indiana, and included wetland size, depth, ...

This study of transmigration settlements in Seberida, Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia, attempts to analyse why there was a deterioration in the ,farming systems of transmigrants and what the consequences of this were for ...

Preliminary research to understand the flammability of 14 species of shrubs and 8 species of trees based on silica-free ash content was done in order to recognize which shrubs or trees are more flammable. The results show ...

The impact of extraction temperature, moisture content and storage temperature on in vitro pollen germination and tube growth, was determined in a sequence of experiments. Pollen extracted at 25°C, dried to 10% moisture ...

Production structure of main commercial tree species was studied in a mangrove forest in East Sumatra, Indonesia. This research was carried out in January 1991 using the estimation of standing biomass with stratified ...

Estimation of litter production in Bruguiera parviflora, B. sexangula, and B. sexangula-Nypa fruticans communities in the mangrove forest in Talidendang Besar, East Sumatra, Indonesia, was done from May 1990 to June 1991 ...

This study introduces a field method to determine unsaturated hydraulic conductivity which is applicable to sloping terrain with a limited water supply. A single steel ring infiltrometer and an artificial rainfall simulator ...
