Dead wood profile of a semi-natural boreal forest – implications for sampling

Silva Fennica, 2019
Dead wood profile of a forest is a useful tool for describing forest characteristics and assessing forest disturbance history. Nevertheless, there are few studies on dead wood profiles, including both coarse and fine dead wood, and on the effect of ...

Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...

Fine scale distribution of ectomycorrhizal fungi and roots across substrate layers including coarse woody debris in a mixed forest [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2003
Summary• Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are widespread plant root symbionts in boreal forests, but information is lacking on the fine scale distribution of roots and fungi in substrate patches of different quality, including coarse woody debris (CWD).• Wood and soil cores were taken systematically both horizontally and vertically through decayed logs and ...

Interactions Between Fire Refugia and Climate-Environment Conditions Determine Mesic Subalpine Forest Recovery After Large and Severe Wildfires

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Infrequent stand-replacing wildfires are characteristic of mesic and/or cool conifer forests in western North America, where forest recovery within high-severity burn patch interiors can be slow, yet successful over long temporal periods (decades to ...

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Fine Woody Debris in Morocco’s Coastal Environment: A Hidden Reservoir for Pollutants

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution
Marine debris is defined as any persistent, manufactured, or processed solid material that is intentionally or unintentionally disposed of or allowed to float into the marine environment. This debris can be of natural or artificial origin and includes a wide variety of materials, such as chemically treated wood. Fine woody debris (FWD), small particles

Emissions from prescribed fires in temperate forest in south-east Australia: implications for carbon accounting [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
We estimated emissions of carbon, as equivalent CO2 (CO2e), from planned fires in four sites in a south-eastern Australian forest. Emission estimates were calculated using measurements of fuel load and carbon content of different fuel types, before and ...
