Under What Circumstances Do Wood Products from Native Forests Benefit Climate Change Mitigation? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Climate change mitigation benefits from the land sector are not being fully realised because of uncertainty and controversy about the role of native forest management.

Carbon Losses Due to Wood Harvesting and the Role of Wood Products

, 2014
The carbon stock in wood and paper products is increasing in Italy, and the same trend is expected in the coming decades. In forest ecosystems firewood and forest harvesting represent a net carbon loss but the use of wood, a carbon-neutral renewable resource for generating energy also has a strong substitution effect as it avoids the use of fossil ...

Role of non-wood forest products for local livelihoods in countries with transition and market economies: case studies in Ukraine and Sweden [PDF]

, 2011
The role of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in local economies differ in time and space. We analysed Ukrainian and Swedish national policies and management rules related to the use of NWFPs, and described how different forest stakeholders utilised NWFPs

Wood Colour Variations of Quercus Species in Romania

, 2023
Wood colour metrics are increasingly being used in wood technology and ecology studies. Researchers usually determine the colours of the wood after treatment or in different habitats.

Estimation of carbon stocks in wood products for private building companies

Scientific Reports, 2022
Wood products function as carbon storage even after being harvested from forests. This has garnered attention in relevance to climate change countermeasures.

Carbon storage accounting in brazilian harvested wood products. [PDF]

, 2022
ABSTRAC. Brazil is one of the world's leading manufacturers of forest products, and 94% of the raw material comes from cultivated forests, mainly of the Pinus and Eucalyptus genera.

On Carbon Substitution and Storage Factors for Harvested Wood Products in the Context of Climate Change Mitigation in the Norwegian Forest Sector

Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2023
Harvested wood products (HWP) can play an important role in climate-smart bioeconomic transformation. They contribute to climate change mitigation through two main mechanisms: carbon storage and substitution.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for
