The accurate habitat suitability evaluation of forest species is vital for forest resource management and conservation. Therefore, the previously published thresholds of soil organic carbon (SOC) contents for the six main forest species were used to...

Indonesia has around 4000 wood species, and 10% (400) of species are categorized as commercial wood. One species is kayu kuku (Pericopsis mooniana Thwaites), native to Southeast Sulawesi. This species is considered a fancy wood used for sawn timber,...

Buprestids are an emerging threat to broadleaf forests across the world. Species such as emerald ash borer (EAB, Agrilus planipennis) seriously threaten ash (Fraxinus spp.) in North America and Europe. As it continues spreading west from European Rus...

Studies have shown that disadvantaged neighborhoods have fewer green spaces, resources, and facilities, resulting in residents facing more barriers to using green spaces. This study aims to quantify green space usage patterns and constraints in old r...

Predicting the suitable habitat of plants under climate change has become a trending research topic in recent years. Juniperus tibetica Komarov (Cupressales: Cupressaceae) is a unique and vulnerable species on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) an...

Cutting force and temperature are critical indicators for improving cutting performance and productivity. This study used an up-milling experiment to ascertain the effect of tool tooth number, cutting speed, and depth on the machinability of bamboo&n...

Long-term monocultures of tea and the excessive use of chemical fertilizer lead to the degradation of soil quality. Improving the soil quality of ex-tea plantations through vegetation restoration is an important task. However, the changes in soil nut...

Increasing evidence has shown that introducing broadleaved trees into coniferous plantations can regulate hydrologic stores and fluxes; however, the effects and regulatory mechanisms of species mixing on the water conservation capacity of the litter&...

Understanding the adaptability of Chionanthus retusus Lindl. et Paxt. to extreme water conditions will help in exploring the potential application of this species in barren mountains. Three-year-old Chionanthus retusus seedlings were used in a greenh...

Holm oak is the dominant tree species in the Mediterranean climate. Currently, worrisome degradation of its ecosystems has been observed, produced, among other factors, by changes in land use, extreme weather events, forest fires, climate change, and...
