Effects of management practices on water yield in small headwater catchments at Cordillera de los Andes in southern Chile [PDF]
, 2009 In several parts of the world, drinking water is obtained from springs in natural and managed mountainous forests. Since forests regulate quality as well as quantity of water, the effects of forest-management activities on water yield are an important ...

Gall-inducing insects of an Araucaria Forest in southern Brazil [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2013 Gall-inducing insects of an Araucaria Forest in southern Brazil. Diversity of galling insects is reported for the first time in an Araucaria Forest site. We address gall characteristics, host plant identification and the inducer identification and provide additional information about sites of gall occurrence in a mosaic of continuous forest and natural

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

Loss of suitable climatic areas for Araucaria forests over time
Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2019 Background: Araucaria forests are mountain ecosystems that might have expanded in the late Holocene, however past distributions remain uncertain. If current distribution reflects climatic conditions, past and future distributions may be projected using climate models. Aims: To contribute to the understanding of past and future distribution of Araucaria

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport
Small Structures, EarlyView.Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.Tubular pyrolysis synthesis is a widespread method to produce activated carbons (ACs). This review focuses on the different controlling parameters of the tubular pyrolysis synthesis method and their influence on the performance of synthesized ACs, thereby considering both experimental aspects and the use of plant‐based biomasses (PBBs) as feedstock ...

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production
Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Species richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in forests with Araucaria in Southern Brazil
HoehneaThis study aimed to characterize species richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in three distinct forests with Araucaria angustifolia (native forest, reforestation with A. angustifolia and plantation with Pinus taeda) in the "Floresta Nacional de

Soil organic carbon sequestration under Araucaria angustifolia plantations but not under exotic tree species on a mountain range [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do SoloPlantation forests can be efficient C sinks in biomass and soil organic carbon (SOC), but the latter depends on many factors, including climate. Tropical humid, mountain areas have cooler temperatures, slowing microbial decomposition, and thus can store ...
