In this edition of ID That Tree, Purdue Extension forester Lenny Farlee goes over leaf characteristics to look for when attempting to identify broadleaved deciduous trees in Indiana. He shares the ...
Nature classifies all trees into three main groups. Deciduous trees shed leaves seasonally. Evergreen trees remain green year-round. Coniferous trees reproduce using cones. These categories explain ...
The dark foliage of conifer trees dominates much of our landscape. It gets to be a bit overwhelming at times, so I’m always glad when spring leaf-out brings fresh, bright greens of the deciduous tree ...
Above: This photo tells an entire story. Taken at Roan Mountain State Park in Tennessee in January, it shows most of the deciduous trees are bare. However, you can easily see the light tan colors of ...
• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...
Answer: Explanations for why leaves change color the way they do can be related to the species or cultivar, temperature fluctuations, seasonal day length changes, and potentially the soil moisture ...
Timber-producing tree plantations that contain at least two different tree species grow better than those with just a single species. The finding suggests that increasing species diversity in areas of ...
