Seasonal radial growth of black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) from Bosnia and Herzegovina, monitored by the pinning method and manual band dendrometers

Despite numerous dendroclimatological investigations into different tree species from Bosnia and Herzegovina, information is lacking on intra-annual wood formation patterns, which would help us to interpret the climate signal in tree rings better.Using the pinning method and manual band dendrometers, we investigated the seasonal dynamics of radial

Closed string theory without level-matching at the free level

Abstract In its traditional form, the string field in closed string field theory is constrained by the level-matching condition, which is imposed beside the action.By analogy with the similar problem for the Ramond sector, it was understood by Okawa and Sakaguchi how to lift this condition and work with unconstrained field by introducing spurious C

Biomass allocation and root topology alteration of an introduced amphibious plant in response to cultural eutrophication

Abstract Parrot feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum) is an introduced, noninvasive amphibious plant found in coastal provinces, but it has the potential to become an invasive species in China.The plant is heterophyllous, with both emergent (aerial) and submerged (aquatic) leaves, and has two distinct root types: aquatic (adventitious) and edaphic (sedi
