The successful establishment of seedlings is very important for plant regeneration, but it is vulnerable to many factors at this stage. Cotyledon damage will directly affect the health of seedlings, thus affecting the regeneration of the plant popula...

In the last two decades, there has been increased interest in research focused on developing innovative polymer composite materials for food packaging, obtained by compounding polymers with organic fillers, intended for the manufacture of food storag...

Recently, many studies have been conducted on the impact of various elements of the natural environment, including forests, on human physical and mental health. However, little is known about the level of health benefits resulting from contact with f...

(1) Background: Tropical Mountain forests (TMF) constitute a threatened major carbon sink due to deforestation. Carbon compensation projects could significantly aid in preserving these ecosystems. Consequently, we need a better understanding of the a...

This study of vegetation coverage in Jiamusi City provides theoretical support for local urban development, land use, and ecological environmental protection. Based on the land cover data and Landsat remote sensing image data from 2000 to 2020, the v...

Furfurylation can effectively improve the quality of fast-growing wood, but its leachability is unclear. In this study, fast-growing poplar (Populus sp.) and Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) were impregnated with low concentrations...

Quasistatic nanoindentation is a proven tool that provides information on the micromechanical behavior of wood cell walls. However, quasistatic tests cannot probe the time-dependent mechanical behavior shown by wood. Nanoindentation dynamic mechanica...

The concentrations of exogenous nitrogen and calcium can significantly regulate plant growth and photosynthesis and mutually affect their absorption and utilization. However, whether there is an optimal nitrogen–calcium ratio (N:Ca ratio) in po...

Terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) is the major carbon input to the terrestrial ecosystem. The Yangtze River Basin (YRB) holds a key role in shaping China’s economic and social progress, as well as in ecological and environmental prot...

Ecological fire prevention forest belts can effectively alleviate the spread of forest fires and reduce the harm caused by forest fires. Exploring the distribution and changes in suitable growth areas for fire-resistant forest species under the effec...
