Modern trends in long span timber flooring systems
, 2011 With the advent of other types of flooring systems utilising stronger materials and higher performance, timber flooring has been mainly restricted to domestic applications. However, the advent of engineered wood products (EWP's) such as LVL and glulam as

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Engineered Flooring from Low-Density Plantation Hardwood: Evaluation of Long-Term In-Service Trials
The use of short-rotation hardwood plantation species has been perceived to be unsuitable for flooring until recently, due to the lower densities. This study assesses the performance of a low-density plantation hardwood species, Eucalyptus nitens in ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

, 2011 Surface-densified wood products were prepared with only a short vacuum impregnation process instead of the traditional time-consuming pressurizing stage. The top layer of engineered wood flooring planks was successfully impregnated with low-viscosity 1,6

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a potential catalyst for a paradigm shift within the construction industry, due to its capacity to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and augment design flexibility. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) that explores the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and
