Potential drivers of fast growth in Paulownia
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Trees in the genus Paulownia play a crucial role in sustainable forestry, rural economic development, and carbon mitigation due to their rapid growth, exceptional hardwood properties, and prominent carbon sequestration capacity. This review highlights the societal value of Paulownia trees and synthesizes several potential drivers of extraordinarily ...

Mathematical Modelling of Volatile Gas Using Lattice Boltzmann Method
Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2020 This study investigates the behaviour of pyrolysis gas, generated by the thermal decomposing of biomass, in a pilot size reactor. The discreet mathematical model, Lattice Boltzmann, has adopted for mathematical simulation of flow of pyrolysis gas across ...

Modelling of selection and mating decisions in tree breeding programs [PDF]
, 1996 Hardwood trees from the temperate forests of southern Australia are an important source of timber for high quality paper. Two species in particular, Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus nitens are well suited to this purpose and are now widely grown in ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.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 ...

On the Origins of Out‐of‐Plane Auxetic Response in Paper
physica status solidi (b), EarlyView.Paper can be auxetic! Paper can exhibit a range of out‐of‐plane Poisson's ratio (PR) values. Examining handsheets made from hardwood (HW) and softwood (SW) fibers, of a variety of weights (1, 3, or 5 g) and refining degrees (none, R, or R+), showed that the sign and magnitude of PR can be finely controlled by modifying network parameters.

Migratory connectivity and barrier-crossing flights of Vermivora warblers are associated with synoptic weather conditions. [PDF]
J Anim EcolTracking data from ~10 g songbirds illuminate how weather conditions affect the initiation of long‐distance migratory flights across the Gulf of Mexico during autumn and spring. Seasonal differences and weak migratory connectivity near the Gulf suggest adaptive responses to weather, with future climate trends potentially reducing crossing favorability ...

DuckNet: an open‐source deep learning tool for waterfowl species identification in UAV imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Using drones with thermal‐RGB sensors and a deep learning model (RetinaNet with ResNet‐50), we surveyed non‐breeding waterfowl across restored wetlands in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Our model, DuckNet, achieved high accuracy and offers an open‐source, customizable tool for automated waterfowl detection to support conservation monitoring ...
