“…For instance, wood density is a good predictor of individual tree diameter increments (Wright et al 2010), and correlates con-sistently with the biomass increment (Finegan et al 2015). Besides wood density, specific leaf area is known to be related with the intensity of plant respiration and photosynthesis (Ivetić et al 2014, Weraduwage et al 2015, and thus plant growth. In the infancy of its growth, a plant would tend to allocate more resources to leaves so that to allow maximum interception of light and favour fixation of large amounts of C from atmosphere.…”

Mensah, S., Glèlè Kakaï, R., Seifert, T., 2016. Patterns of biomass allocation between foliage and woody structure: the effects of tree size and specific functional traits. Ann. For. Res. 59(1): 49-60.Abstract. Biomass allocation is closely related to species traits, resources availability and competitive abilities, and therefore it is often used to capture resource utilisation within plants. In this study, we searched for patterns in biomass allocation between foliage and wood (stem plus branch), and how they changed with tree size (diameter), species identity and functional traits (leaf area and specific wood density). Using data on the aboveground biomass of 89 trees from six species in a Mistbelt forest (South Africa), we evaluated the leaf to wood mass ratio (LWR). The effects of tree size, species identity and specific traits on LWR were tested using Generalised Linear Models. Tree size (diameter) was the main driver of biomass allocation, with 44.43 % of variance explained. As expected, LWR declined significantly with increasing tree diameter. Leaf area (30.17% explained variance) and wood density (12.61% explained variance) also showed significant effects, after size effect was accounted for. Results also showed clear differences among species and between groups of species. Per unit of wood mass, more biomass is allocated to the foliage in the species with the larger leaf area. Inversely, less biomass is allocated to the foliage in species with higher wood density. Moreover, with increasing diameter, lower wood density species tended to allocate more biomass to foliage and less biomass to stems and branches. Overall, our results emphasise the influence of plant size and functional traits on biomass allocation, but showed that neither tree diameter and species identity nor leaf area and wood density are the only important variables.

“…e RGR at 9-12 WAT had a significant positive correlation with NAR at 4-8 WAT and 8-12 WAT. Previous research has shown that NAR is the most critical predictor of RGR [49]. Fast-growing plants always have a high NAR, and plants with high assimilation rates always grow fast.…”

This study aimed to examine plant growth of tomato grafted onto different eggplant rootstocks. We applied a randomized block design comprising twelve treatments with three replicates. Three varieties of tomato—Cervo, Karina, and Timoty—and three rootstocks—Gelatik, EG203 line, and Solanum torvum—were selected for this study. Nongrafted tomato plants of the same varieties were used as controls. The variables recorded were the number of branches, the diameter of scions and rootstocks, root length, and root dry weight at 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks after planting (WAT) and relative growth rate, specific leaf area, and net assimilation rate at 4, 8, and 12 WAT. Grafted tomato plants demonstrated better growth than controls. There was a significant relationship between yield, plant growth parameters, and photosynthetic organs, expressed by higher production, greater scion diameter, longer roots, and increased relative growth rate, leaf area ratio, and net assimilation rate of grafted plants, compared to the controls.

“…The grading of particles (seed material with small grain size) by spectrometric properties [5], is positioned as an alternative to traditional methods of separation (using a sieve, separation, aspiration devices). The combination of this, as well as the seeds provenance and of nursery production method [6] will further improve the seedlings quality. The variety of technical means implementing optical technology leads to the need for analytical studies of their operational parameters [4].…”

Using foresight to improve the efficiency of process equipment design

The study is intended for engineers designing hybrid systems. The analytic hierarchy method was used as the main tool of foresight. Nowadays, some experience in the design of optoelectronic systems is accumulated. However, in most cases, designers have to sort through all possible factors and parameters of devices. The involvement of experts for questionnaire survey will reduce the time range of designing. The results of the study show a high consistency of experts' opinions with the Kendall coefficient value of 0.782. Research materials in the future will allow planning experiments only with the most important factors. This will adjust the protocols for testing new optoelectronic systems and significantly reduce costs.
