The physical properties of peat substrates from eight tree nurseries were characterized to determine bulk density, air-filled porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, pore effectiveness, relative gas diffusivity and chemical properties. There were...

Ecological restoration with a multispecies and multifunctional approach can accelerate the re-establishment of numerous ecosystem services. The challenges with land that is degraded, damaged, or destroyed post-mining are the low productivity of soil...

Longer periods of intensified droughts in Western Europe are predicted due to ongoing climate change. Studying the responses of woody species during intense drought events can help toward understanding the consequences for forest ecosystems. We studi...

Abies nephrolepis is a climate-vulnerable species that inhabits high mountains in the Baekdu–Daegan range and is distributed along the southern limit line in South Korea, making it suitable for climate change research. This study aimed to obser...

The purpose of this study was to predict aboveground biomass (AGB) and aboveground carbon storage (AGCS) in Ma bamboo (Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro) plantations. A total of 25 bamboo samples were selected and felled based on age and diameter at bre...

Both biochar and oyster shell powder have been known as promising amendments to ameliorate soil acidity and enhance soil fertility. However, it is still unclear how their application alone and in combination affect the soil organic carbon (C) fractio...

Most existing methods for determining log decay levels normally use variations in log surface characteristics, and the results are subject to human subjectivity, which is uncertain and inaccurate. In order to investigate a novel method for the quanti...

The forestry industry poses a higher risk of occupational accidents than other sectors, and understanding the occurrence and characteristics of injuries and fatalities is crucial for improving the safety and health of workers and establishing future...

Somatic embryogenesis (SE), which leads to the formation of embryonic callus (EC) tissue, is the most promising method for large-scale production and selective breeding of woody plants. However, in many species, SE suffers from low induction and prol...

Circumferential milling is used in wood processing, yet it generates vast quantities of dust and chips in a single pass, highlighting the need to predict chip dispersion and prevent associated hazards. This article presents findings from a theoretica...
