Urban park green spaces (PGSs) are crucial social public resources that provide various ecological services and enhance human health and well-being. However, with the acceleration of urbanization, the accessibility and equity of urban PGS resources a...

The paper looks at the potential benefits of mushrooms in terms of health, recreation, and tourism. Mycotourism is an innovative, specialised tourism product that has been successfully introduced in some regions of the world, helping to combat season...

Changes in soil nutrient dynamics after biochar application may affect indirect carbon sequestration through changes in plant productivity in forest ecosystems. In the present study, we examined the effects of woody biochar application on soil nitrog...

Large-scale vegetation restoration campaigns have been implemented on the Chinese Loess Plateau, which have resulted in higher soil moisture deficits in this region. This, in turn, has hampered the healthy growth of planted trees, leading to a declin...

Near-surface soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) are fundamental for describing and predicting water and energy exchange processes, particularly at the soil–atmosphere interface, and regulating evapotranspiration, infiltration, and runoff in diffe...

Determining which species to utilize for the artificial restoration of subtropical secondary forests has become a focal point in forestry and ecology. To compare the effects of the subtropical secondary forest artificial restoration model on soil mic...

The static bending properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) clear wood were studied using a material collected from commercial thinning forests in eastern Finland. In Myrtillus type, the modulus of elasticity and bending strength of the first t...

Plant resources are used as raw materials in various industries related to humans, such as edible, medicinal, taste, and flavor industries, depending on processes such as drying, processing, and collection period. In this study, we investigated the t...

Against the background of global warming, trees in high-latitude and high-altitude areas are more sensitive to rapid warming. Revealing the response patterns of trees at different altitudes to rapid warming in typical alpine mountain environments can...

In the policy arena of the rapid development of China’s digital village, understanding how internet use enhances the happiness of forest farmers’ families holds theoretical and practical significance for promoting the protection of the ec...
