Risks, benefits, and knowledge gaps of non-native tree species in Europe

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Changing ecosystem conditions and diverse socio-economical events have contributed to an ingrained presence of non-native tree species (NNTs) in the natural and cultural European landscapes.

Pressures on Boreal Riparian Vegetation: A Literature Review

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Riparian zones are species-rich and functionally important ecotones that sustain physical, chemical and ecological balance of ecosystems. While scientific, governmental and public attention for riparian zones has increased over the past decades ...

Rad27/FEN1 prevents accumulation of Okazaki fragments and ribosomal DNA copy number changes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The budding yeast Rad27 is a structure‐specific endonuclease. Here, the authors reveal that Rad27 is crucial for maintaining the stability of the ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) region. Rad27 deficiency leads to the accumulation of Okazaki fragments and changes in rDNA copy number.

Afforestation in the Ciscaucasian Steppes of the Stavropol Province in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries

Вестник Северного (Арктического) федерального университета: Серия «Гуманитарные и социальные науки»
The steppe areas of Ciscaucasia had for a long time been primarily inhabited by nomadic peoples (Kalmyks, Nogais and Turkmens). Their way of life determined their interaction with the natural environment. They primarily used the steppe for nomadic cattle

Forest riparian buffers reduce timber harvesting effects on stream temperature, but additional climate adaptation strategies are likely needed under future conditions

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2021
Stream water temperature imposes metabolic constraints on the health of cold-water fish like salmonids. Timber harvesting can reduce stream shading leading to higher water temperatures, while also altering stream hydrology.

Workforce sustainability in the Chilean logging sector : an ergonomics approach : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2017
This thesis examines three key, related elements; social sustainability, forestry and ergonomics, and explores two relationships between these elements. The first relationship is between social sustainability and the Chilean forestry sector, with a focus

Retention as an integrated biodiversity conservation approach for continuous-cover forestry in Europe

Ambio, 2019
Retention forestry implies that biological legacies like dead and living trees are deliberately selected and retained beyond harvesting cycles to benefit biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This model has been applied for several decades in even-aged,

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Linking stream ecosystem integrity to catchment and reach conditions in an intensively managed forest landscape

Ecosphere, 2018
Forests are vital to maintaining headwater stream integrity in forested biomes, which ensures the delivery of aquatic ecosystem services downstream. Forest harvesting, however, can alter land–water linkages and compromise stream integrity.
