Dieback and decline of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) tree stands on Mtn. Kopaonik are caused by a combination of abiotic and biotic factors. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi have stabilizing effects on forest trees that are under environmental s...

In recent years, research on interfacial photothermal water evaporation has been thriving. Due to its inherent porosity, exceptional hydrophilicity, and renewable characteristics, wood has garnered significant attention as a material for interfacial...

Short-term fertilization may provide limited improvements in tree growth and demonstrate suboptimal fertilizer efficiency; however, its benefits often fall short of expectations. Unfortunately, research addressing the sustained impacts of prolonged f...

Urban forests, as an integral part of nature-based solutions (NBS), are significant contributors to improving urban air quality, delivering ecological service functions and environmental benefits to human health and well-being. Suitable urban forest...

Coffee is one of the most consumed commodities globally, and its harvests generate large quantities of wood waste with low industrial value. This study aimed to explore the potential of residual Coffea arabica wood to produce lignocellulose microfibr...

Tamaulipan thornscrub forests (thornforests) have high ecological and economic values, yet over 90% of these forests have been lost, and they remain threatened, making them a conservation hotspot. For decades, federal, state, NGO, and corporate entit...

Numerous studies have reported phenological changes and their driving mechanisms in spring flowering plants. However, there is little research on the shifts of winter flowering phenology and its response to forcing and chilling requirements. Based on...

The Shangqiu Yellow River Ancient Course National Forest Park, the only national forest park in China created entirely from man-made forests, plays a critical role in ecological conservation. Our research employed plot surveys and quantitative ecolog...

Block lifting is a key step in stabilizing and removing fragile remains at archaeological excavation sites. Due to its favorable working properties and adhesive effect, menthol has recently been proposed as a volatile binding medium for temporary con...

Accurate estimation of biomass and carbon stocks in forest ecosystems is critical for understanding their roles in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. Currently, the development of stand biomass models and carbon stock estimation at t...
