Identification of some fiber characteristics in Rosa sp. and Nerium oleander L. wood grown under different ecological conditions

Abstract

Climate-dependent changes in wood anatomical characteristics were studied for Rosa sp. and Nerium oleander sp. grown in phytosociological areas. For this purpose, wood samples were taken from the individual wood species grown in Antalya, Eskisehir, and Kastamonu provenances, where Terrestrial, Black Sea, and Mediterranean climate types prevail, and 11 anatomical characters were identified or calculated. As a result of the study, it has been determined that the climate has large effects on the characteristics that are the subject of the study and that each characteristic is at a higher level in individuals grown in areas where different climate types prevail. The highest values in Rosa species were obtained in the individuals grown under Terrestrial climate type in all characteristics except for LW (lumen widths), EC (elasticity coefficients), and FF (F-Factors.) Whereas in Nerium oleander, the highest values were obtained in individuals grown in the Mediterranean climate type in FL (fibre lengths), LW (lumen widths), FR (felting ratios), and EC (elasticity coefficients). For the same species type, in the Terrestrial climate, RIJID (rigidity coefficients), MUHT (Muhlstep ratios), and RUNK (Runkel ratios), and in the Black Sea climate DWT (double wall thicknesses) and WT (wall thicknesses) characteristics had high values.

Change of aluminum concentrations in specific plants by species, organ, washing, and traffic density

“…It depends on the anatomic structure of the plant and the mutual interaction between the plant and heavy metal (Skripal'schikova et al 2016). As well as any other phenotypic characteristic, plant metabolism is shaped by the mutual interaction between genetic structure (Yigit et al 2016) and environmental conditions (Cetin et al 2018;Yigit et al 2021). Hence, many factors, including the genetic structure affecting the plant metabolism (Hrivnák et al 2017), stress level (Sevik and Cetin 2015;Ozel et al 2021aOzel et al , 2021b, plant origin (Imren et al 2021), hormone treatment (Topacoglu et al 2016), pesticide application and fertilization that alters the edaphic and climatic factors (Canto et al 2020), and shadowing (Agudelo-Castañeda et al 2018) may affect the intake of heavy metal in plants and, consequently, the heavy metal concentration.…”

Usability of some woody plants in monitoring and reducing the Mn, Zn, Ba, and Sr concentrations in the air

“…Plant development, as with all other phenotypic characteristics, is shaped by the mutual interaction between genetic structure [60][61][62] and environmental conditions [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70]. For this reason, the optimum development conditions of each plant are related to different edaphic and climatic conditions [71][72][73][74]. Thus, since the maximum development of each plant might require different environmental conditions, their capacity to accumulate heavy metals in different parts would be at different levels.…”

Change of Mn, Ni, and Zn concentrations in soils in the city center of Kastamonu and nearby by the use of soil

“…First of all, soil is the structure, which all the ecosystem and organic life depend on. As known, the entire organic life directly or indirectly relies upon plants [49,50]. The growth of plants requires appropriate climatic and soil conditions.…”
