Hydrothermal Modification of Beech Wood

open access: yes
Hydrothermal modification represents a promising pathway for upgrading European beech wood ( L.), particularly in the presence of false heartwood, which is traditionally regarded as a limiting defect in industrial processing. This chapter explores the potential of saturated steam treatment as a controlled, environmentally compatible approach to ...

The Impact of Primers for Wood Bonding on Beech Wood’s Young’s Modulus

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Wood and Wood Products
Abstract When producing load-bearing timber products with one-component polyurethane adhesives and certain wood species, e.g., beech or larch, primers can be used to obtain stronger and more durable bonds. The active chemicals of three existing primer systems, hydroxymethylated resorcinol formaldehyde (HMR), polysorbate 20 (PS20), and poly ...

Synthetic Imagery Improves Ecological Classification When Real Data Are Scarce, Not Direct Substitutes

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Image generation models can create synthetic ecological datasets and potentially alleviate limitations from sparse real data. Using 20 tree genera across community‐science and street‐view imagery, we tested whether synthetic images could replace or supplement real data for image classification.

Thermal characteristics of oriental beech wood treated with some leaching resistant borates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
It was aimed to investigate thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential-thermogravimetric (DTG), and differential-thermal analysis (DTA) of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.) wood treated with some leaching resistant borates such as sodium ...

Road mortality mitigation for red wolves requires a landscape approach

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In 1980, the red wolf Canis rufus was declared extinct in the wild. However, starting in 1987, a captive breeding program allowed for a reintroduction effort in and around Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Alligator River NWR), North Carolina, USA. In 2012 the wild red wolf population peaked at about 120 individuals.

The Impact of Paraffin-Thermal Modification of Beech Wood on Its Biological, Physical and Mechanical Properties

open access: yes, 2019
The European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) wood was thermally modified in the presence of paraffin at the temperatures of 190 or 210 °C for 1, 2, 3 or 4 h.

Home range shifts and habitat selection across life‐history stages in grey partridges

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how birds use space throughout the year is essential for effective conservation planning, even in resident species. We investigated seasonal space use in a Central European population of grey partridges Perdix perdix, a rapidly declining residential farmland bird.

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Crown plasticity and neighborhood interactions of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in an old-growth forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Competition for canopy space is a process of major importance in forest dynamics. Although virgin and old-growth European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests in Europe have been studied for many years, there are to date no studies of individual-tree crown

Comparison of Surface Roughness of Beech Wood after Sanding with an Eccentric and Belt Sander

open access: yes, 2023
The presented paper deals with a mutual comparison of the roughness of the sanded radial surface after an eccentric and a belt sander. The beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) was sanded with an eccentric sander ETS 125 REQ-PLUS and a belt sander BS-75 E-set ...
