Radial increment was studied in natural forest trees in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and in mangrove trees in Thailand and on Iriomote Island (Japan). Nails were driven into the trunk at breast height. Barrier zones fonned in response were located after felling of the tree, and the amount of wood fonned subsequent to nailing was measured. Thanks to the distinctness of the cambial response to nailing, this method appears very effective for measuring radial increment in tropical trees. The following results were obtained:

<p>A dry-field (tegalan) is one of the subsystems of classical agroforestry, where there is no intensive management of both the spacing and the selection of the type that is considered. Dry-field (tegalan) agroforestry subsystems have a state that resembles natural forest ecosystems. It became an opportunity execution of research related to the stands composition of dry-field (tegalan) and forest nature. The purpose of this study is to determine the pattern of developing agroforestry in Bulu and the relation of the natural forest. This research was conducted in Bulu-Giripurwo Village, Girimulyo District, Kulonprogo. Data was collected at 36 sample plots representing 3 strata. The first stratum had an area of &lt; 1000 m2, the second 1,000 m2–2,000 m2, and the third &gt; 2,000 m2. K-Means Cluster Analysis and exponential equation modeling was used to analyze the dry-field (tegalan). The results of this study indicate that there were three models of management of cultivated land in Bulu; the Mixed Model, Model MPTS dominant plants, and forest trees dominant model. Mixed models had the stand equation Y = 3.39 x 2.7128-0,026X with an R2 of 0.798. The dominant MPTS plan models had the stand equation 3,155 x 2.7128-0,021X with an R2 of 0.770. The dominant of forest trees models has stands equation Y = 3.182 x 2.7128-0,024X with R2 of 0.706. These results demonstrate agroforestry modeling subsystem dry-field (tegalan) has characteristics resembling natural forest indicated from the value of R2 that characterized so close with the equation of uneven-aged forest model.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: Agroforestry, dry-field (tegalan), natural forest</p>

During the survey of the forest fungal disease, of Jalgaon district, two severe leaf spot diseases on Lannae coromandelica and ( Ougenia dalbergioides (Papilionaceae) were observed in Jalgaon, forest during July to September 2016-17. The casual organism was identified as Stigmina lanneae and Phomopsis sp. respectively1-4,7. These are first report from Jalgaon and Maharashtra state.

Numerous publications are devoted to plant phenological trends of all trees, shrubs and herbs. In this work we focus on trees of the forest. We take into account the spring season (leaf and needle development) as well as the autumn (colour turning and shedding of leaves) for larch, spruce and beech, and,owing to the lack of further autumn phases, the horse chestnut. The proportion of significant trends is variable, depending on the phenological phase. The strongest trend to early arrival in spring was measured for needles of the larch for the period between 1951 and 2000 with over 20 days. The leaves of the horse chestnut show the earliest trend to turn colour in autumn. Beech leaves have also changed colour somewhat earlier over the past 50 years. The trend for shedding leaves, on the other hand, is slightly later. Regional differences were examined for the growth of needles in the larch where the weakest trends towards early growth are found in Canton Jura and the strongest on the southern side of the Alps. The warming of the climate strongly influences phenological arrival times. Trees in the forest react to this to in a similar way to other plants that have been observed (other trees, shrubs and herbs).

Concepts of near-natural forestry are in great demand these days. Most German forest administrations and private forest enterprises attach great importance to being as «near-natural» as possible. This should allow them to make the most of biological rationalisation. The concept of near-natural forestry is widely accepted, especially by conservationists. However, it is much too early to analyse how successful near-natural forestry has been to date, and therefore to decide whether an era of genuine near-natural forest management has really begun. Despite wide-spread recognition, near-natural forestry is jeopardised by mechanised timber harvesting, and particularly by the large-timber harvester. The risk is that machines, which are currently just one element of the timber harvest will gain in importance and gradually become the decisive element. The forest would then be forced to meet the needs of machinery, not the other way round. Forests would consequently become so inhospitable that they would bear no resemblance to the sylvan image conjured up by potential visitors. This could mean taking a huge step backwards: from a near-natural forest to a forest dominated by machinery. The model of multipurpose forest management would become less viable, and the forest would become divided into areas for production, and separate areas for recreation and ecology. The consequences of technical intervention need to be carefully considered, if near-natural forestry is not to become a thing of the past.
