The African elephant Loxodonta africana Blumenbach, a water dependent intermediate bulk feeder is relatively unselective preferring grazing
to browsing (Van Soest 1982, Van Wijngaarden 1985). Unlike the elephants found in grasslands (savanna) forest elephants are browsers and feed mainly on [...]
This paper discusses the effect of relative humidity during storage on seed longevity and sowing depth on germination of Prosopsis africana (Guill and Perr.) Taub seeds. Freshly collected and two-years old seeds were used for this experiment. Six levels [...]
The paper describes the gross and minute anatomical properties of Helicia excelsa Blume (Proteaceae) and Vernonia arborea Buch. – Ham. (Compositae). It also provides their probable uses based on anatomical properties.
Interaction of nine provenances of Acacia mangium Willd. were studied at three sites of the Philippines such as Lubuagan, Vintar in Ilocos Norte (Region – 1), Mapuyo, Mobo in Masbate (Region-5) and Lantapan Malaybalay in Bukidnon (Region-10). The sites [...]
Growth response of Acacia mangium seedlings to cowdung and NPK fertilizers was studied in Bangladesh Forest Research Institute, Chittagong. Use of cowdung and chemical fertilizers either individually or combinedly caused significant increase in seedlings’ height and biomass production. Application [...]
The growth and biomass production of twelve provenances of Eucalyptus brassiana were studied at the degenerated sal forest areas of Madhupur, Tangail. The trial assessed at the age of seven year showed poor survival (18 – 33%). The provenances [...]
This paper reports the infestation of teak canker grub, Dihammus cervinus Hope (Cerambycidae : Coleoptera) in teak plantations of Bangladesh. It deals with the nature and extent of damage, distribution, life history, number of generation and host plants of [...]
Village forests of Bangladesh cover an area of 0.27 million ha while state owned forests cover 2.25 million ha. Village forests, mostly privately owned are more productive than the government forests, and supply about 85 per cent of timber [...]
The paper presents the seed germination and seedling growth of jali-bet (Calamus tenuis Roxb.) based on studies at Bangladesh Forest Research Institute, Chittagong. Germination percentages were 70 for whole fruit, 10 for seed with pulp, and 86.66 for clean [...]
Bambusa vulgaris culms sampled from the riverside of Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia were found to be suitable in the manufacture of cement bonded boards. The relatively high sugar content of the culms, however, was found to give a retarding effect [...]
