The following thesis features the analysis of stands design, its study as an ephemeral space whose main purpose is to go beyond the communication obstacles between companies and the audience. The objective of the study ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) stand density selection is an important management practice because yield is maximized at a particularoptimum value. Optimum stand density (OSD) varies across environments, and many have argued that ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield has a parabolic response to stand density changes, creating an optimum stand density that maximizes yield. Argentinean commercial hybrids differ in their optimum stand density when grown at ...

The estimation of differences in the value of in-vehicle time sitting and standing is usually made with stated choice (SC) data, partly due to the lack of revealed preference data. In this paper, we use the observed behaviour ...

Bark stripping by Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) has a serious impact on conifer plantations in Japan. Prevention strategies tend to be implemented on a tree-by-tree basis by wrapping standing trees in biodegradable ...

A well recognized pattern during even-aged stands development is the growth decline after reaching a peak. We studied the effect of changes in stand structure, characterized by growth dominance, upon stand growth, stand ...
