We established a standardized tree-ring width chronology using 46 Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) tree-ring cores from the Tuqiang Forestry Bureau in the northern Greater Khingan Mountains (GKM). The average minimum temperature from...

Daknamu (Broussonetia × kazinoki), the primary fiber source for hanji (traditional Korean handmade paper), provides fibers that are highly durable and used in fine-edition publishing as well as in the conservation and restoration of cultural he...

Located in a transitional climatic zone surrounded by sea on three sides, Kunyu Mountain provides an ideal region to study the drivers of plant distribution. The study examined the distribution patterns and environmental drivers of three dominant tre...

Forest canopy opening can significantly affect understory environment and thus further influence the communities of soil biota, but this has not been well quantified in the literature. Here, using meta-analysis method, we evaluated the effects of for...

Drought responses in poplar are genotype-dependent, yet standardized metrics for quantifying drought tolerance remain scarce. Here, we employed logistic modeling of relative electrolyte leakage (REC) for the first time in poplar to derive clone-speci...

This paper presents results from an extensive study on laminated timber beams manufactured without adhesives or metal fasteners. The use of such elements enables the implementation of the 4R principles in construction (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair)...

The demand for forest materials necessitates advancements in forest management and inventory practices. We explore the integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with LiDAR sensors as a cost-effective alternative for precise forest monit...

Forests serve as “water reservoirs, bank vaults, grain depots, and carbon pools,” and their ecological security plays a critical role in national ecological security. Urbanization, as a long-term development strategy in China, exerts comp...

Bamboo, a fast-growing and biodegradable industrial crop, exhibits excellent mechanical properties, which facilitate its widespread use in construction, furniture, and decorative applications. However, its inherently limited permeability hinders proc...

Through research on the effects of soil and meteorological factors on poplar wood properties, poplar clones with enhanced cold tolerance, drought resistance, and salt–alkali tolerance were selected for large-scale cultivation in the Western Son...
