Comparative Effectiveness of Different Mulch Types and Application Rates for Reducing Runoff and Sediment Yield on Forest Skid Trails

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rehabilitation of skid trails following timber harvesting is critical for preserving forest soil integrity, particularly within ecologically sensitive ecosystems such as the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although mulching is widely recommended for erosion control, field evidence comparing different locally ...

Prospects and Current Challenges of Extracellular Vesicle-Based Biomarkers in Cancer

Biology
Cancer continues to impose a substantial global health burden, particularly among the elderly, where the ongoing global demographic shift towards an ageing population underscores the growing need for early cancer detection. This is essential for enabling

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Losartan alters osteoblast differentiation and increases bone mass through inhibition of TGFB signalling in vitro and in an OIM mouse model

Bone Reports
Excessive production of Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) is commonly associated with dominant and recessive forms of OI. Previous reports have indicated that administration of TGFβ-targeted antibodies maybe of potential therapeutic benefit to OI ...

Humdrum Tasks of the Salaried Men: Edwin Williams, a London County Council Architect at War

Footprint, 2015
Working at the London County Council Architects’ Department through the 1930s to 1950s, and known (if at all) as a member of the design team for the Royal Festival Hall, Edwin Williams is usually presented as a regressive figure, his design work marked ...

Direct extraction of functional whitened lignocellulose from wood via isocyanate modification in water–ethanol mixture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Direct extraction of lignocellulose from wood derivatives was achieved by introducing a bulky isocyanate substituent to lignin in a water–ethanol mixture. This process exploits the tunable solvent affinity of lignin to achieve its whitening, enabling the isolation of lignocellulose.

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Faunal diversity of Fagus sylvatica forests: A regional and European perspective based on three indicator groups

Annals of Forest Research, 2014
While the postglacial history of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and the plant species composition of beech forests in  Central Europe are fairly well understood, the faunal biodiversity has been less well investigated.

Peculiarities of natural regeneration in beech stands of the Ukrainian Carpathians

Наукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2021
The peculiarities of natural regeneration have been studied in beech stands in which management activities are carried out or are absent. Investigated was the dependence of the amount of self-seeding and young growth of beech upon the age of the trees ...

Large‐scale characterization of horizontal forest structure from remote sensing optical images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Sub‐meter resolution remote sensing data and tree crown segmentation techniques hold promise in offering detailed information that can support the characterization of forest structure from a horizontal perspective, offering new insights in the tree crown structure at scale.
