TL;DR: Merow et al. as discussed by the authors published an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

TL;DR: Overall ring density may be better improved by selecting for earlywood and latewood components separately, and wood density decreased less from the pith to the bark in both overall and earlywood densities in the FH subpopulation, resulting in denser, more homogeneous wood than in other subpopulations.

TL;DR: The scenario analysis suggests that there are considerable tradeoffs in terms of ecosystem services associated with stand and landscape-level management decisions, and longer rotations and increased retention tended to favor regulating and supporting services while the opposite was true for provisional services.

TL;DR: Transgenic poplars overexpressing GbF3'H1 had more red-colored pigmentation in leaves than did wild-type (WT) plants and the concentrations of epigallocatechin, gallocatechin and catechin in the downstream products synthesized by flavonoids were significantly higher in the transgenic plants than in the WT plants.

TL;DR: A bioclimatic model based on data about the occurrence of ginkgo from 277 locations is developed and validated using a wide-ranging field test, and it is found that the degree-days below zero were the most important climate variable determining gink go distribution.
