THE POTENTIAL OF BAMBOO AS A SUSTAINABLE FOREST PRODUCT

Journal of Selvicoltura Asean
Bamboo is increasingly recognized as a sustainable forest product due to its rapid growth, versatility, and potential for contributing to environmental conservation. As global concerns about deforestation, climate change, and resource depletion grow, bamboo presents an alternative material that is both eco-friendly and economically viable.

Effect of Glow-Discharge Plasma Treatment on Contact Angle and Micromorphology of Bamboo Green Surface

, 2020
The inner and outer surfaces of bamboo stems are usually removed prior to the manufacture of bamboo panels because the surfaces are hydrophobic and difficult to bond with glue. Hence, the recovery and utilization ratio of bamboo during processing is low.

Analysis of the Effect of the Expansion of Bamboo Forest on Forest Plant Communities

Analysis of the Effect of the Expansion of Bamboo Forest on Forest Plant Communities
The expansion of bamboo forests due to climate change and neglect has raised concerns about declining forest biodiversity and the loss of ecosystem services. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of bamboo forest expansion and its effects on vegetation structure in a bamboo forest near Fukuoka City, Japan. A total of 15 sites were surveyed

Silkworm excrement organic fertilizer substitution compound fertilizer improves bamboo shoot yield by altering soil properties and bacterial communities of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests in subtropical China

Frontiers in Plant Science
To achieve high economic benefits, reapplying fertilizers has been a common business measure taken for harvesting Moso bamboo shoots and timber in the past decades in subtropical China. Applying compound and organic fertilizers is an effective measure to

Manure Composting as a Strategy to Mitigate Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination in Agricultural Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Livestock manure is a valuable agricultural resource but may introduce antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. This review critically evaluates the fate of antibiotics and ARGs during manure composting and identifies the principal factors controlling their attenuation.

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Barriers and opportunities for further enhancing urban garden biodiversity: Insights from a behaviour change model for the United Kingdom

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urbanisation poses a major threat to biodiversity, yet residential gardens offer opportunities to provide key habitats for urban wildlife. Understanding both the perceived feasibility of implementing further improvements to gardens for biodiversity and the barriers that constrain engagement is essential for designing effective conservation ...
