EFFECTS OF ETHEPHON ON HEARTWOOD FORMATION AND RELATED PHYSIOLOGICAL INDICES OF DALBERGIA ODORIFERA T. CHEN

IntroductionDalbergia odorifera T.Chen, known as fragrant rosewood, is a rare and endangered tree species.Studies have shown that plant growth regulators can effectively promote heartwood formation.This study aimed to investigate the effects of ethephon (ETH) on heartwood formation and the influence of ethephon and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the p

Many species of birds breeding on ocean beaches and in coastal dunes are of global conservation concern.Most of these species rely on invertebrates (e.g.insects, small crustaceans) as an irreplaceable food source, foraging primarily around the strandline on the upper beach near the dunes.Sandy beaches are also prime sites for human recreation, whic
