Staphylinidae from Under Bark and at Sap of Trees, a Preliminary Survey of Species Possibly Beneficial to Forestry (Coleoptera) [PDF]
Two hundred and one species of Staphylinidae known to be found under bark or at sap of trees are listed. The possibility of these insects being important elements in the population dynamics of forest pests is discussed.

Current Landscape: Use of Supercritical CO2 in the Wood Industry
The application of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to successfully dewater as well as extract resin from wood is becoming increasingly popular due to its greener and less energy‐intensive approach. With world focus shifting to developing methods with greater efficiency while decreasing harm to the environment, scCO2 applications have begun to set ...

Modelling bark beetle disturbances in a large scale forest scenario model to assess climate change impacts and evaluate adaptive management strategies [PDF]
To study potential consequences of climate-induced changes in the biotic disturbance regime at regional to national scale we integrated a model of Ips typographus (L. Scol. Col.) damages into the large-scale forest scenario model EFISCEN.

Poria cocos as a Functional Food for Diabetes and Diabetes‐Related Foot Ulcers
Poria cocos is known as an edible mushroom for food and medicine. Poria cocos and its terpenes and terpenoids serve as novel remedies to treat diabetes and its ulcers. Its mode of actions includes reduction of insulin resistance, starch digestion and inflammation as well as promotion of blood vessel formation. ABSTRACT Poria cocos is a medicinal fungus

Late Winter Foraging by Honeybees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at Sapsucker Drill Holes [PDF]
Observations of Apis mellifera foraging at sapsucker drill holes were made during February 1988 in southwestern Virginia. Foraging bouts were dependent upon temperature; more bees visited drill holes when ambient temperatures exceeded 10oC. Honeybees did

Norway spruce Picea abies is a key raw material for the forest industry in the Nordic countries. In order to improve the competitiveness of the forest industry by valorising residues and creating value from new products, we have studied the upgrading of spruce bark into transport fuels and chemicals.

Fate of Antioxidative Compounds within Bark during Storage: A Case of Norway Spruce Logs
Softwood bark is an important by-product of forest industry. Currently, bark is under-utilized and mainly directed for energy production, although it can be extracted with hot water to obtain compounds for value-added use.
