MICROSTRUCTURAL AND PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF HEAT TREATED WOOD: PART 2. HARDWOODS
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2006 Heat treatment of wood is an effective method to improve the dimensional stability and durability against biodegradation. Optimisation of a two-stage heat treatment process at relatively mild conditions (

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.A two‐year study reveals shared fungal communities between cranberry flowers and insect visitors, including Apis mellifera, Bombus species, solitary bees and hover flies. Greater fungal richness was present in pollinator‐accessible flowers compared to those that were tented.

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1517-1538, April 2026.Abstract Background and Purpose Alarming trends show that vaping e‐cigarettes containing synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists, such as JWH‐018, is increasing among youth. However, the effects of these trends are unclear in both sexes. We therefore characterized the neuropharmacological effects of adolescent JWH‐018 inhalation in male and female rats.

Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 577-590, April 2026.Summary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia: What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi's

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 921-933, April 2026.Summary Forest health is critical for sustaining ecosystem services like carbon sequestration. Heart rot, a widespread disease in upland northern hardwood forests, may affect greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) fluxes, but its impacts remain poorly measured. Using non‐destructive tomography and direct gas flux measurements, we quantified the effects of heart ...

Breaking Down Lignin: A Macromolecule's Path to the Nanoscale
Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.This section highlights lignin's critical role as a sustainable, multifunctional precursor for nanomaterial design. Its unique structure and abundance enable the creation of lignin‐based, lignin‐derived, and hybrid nanomaterials with tunable properties. Emphasis is placed on lignin's potential to drive innovation in nanotechnology, offering ecofriendly
