IDM for the Conceptual Evaluation Process of Industrialized Timber Projects

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2023
Interest in industrialized timber construction systems, in particular light-frame systems, has increased worldwide due to its various benefits. However, it is very important for projects executed under the off-site construction system to consider the ...

Effect of Fertilization on the Performance of Adult Pinus pinea Trees [PDF]

Biology
Background: Pinus pinea L. (stone pine) produces pine nuts of high value. Its cultivation is carried out in forests and plantations, with intensive management techniques being studied to stimulate diameter growth, which is positively related to cone ...

Diversity Hotspots and Vulnerability of Pine Species in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Western Mexico. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The present study employs a modeling approach to examine the current and future distribution of 19 pine species in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico. This was done in order to identify areas with high potential for pine species richness and to determine which species are at risk due to climate change under different projections.

Two-step hot isostatic pressing densification achieved non-porous fully-densified wood with enhanced physical and mechanical properties [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
A new two-step densification method for wooden materials entitled hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is proposed. This method has the advantage over previous densification methods that can achieved almost the full densification of wood, reaching values up to 1.

Effect of seedling size on post-planting growth and survival of five Mexican Pinus species and their hybrids [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Seedling growth and survival depend on seedling quality. However, there is no experimental evidence showing that the seedling dimensions of the abundant, economically important and widely distributed tree species Pinus arizonica, P ...

Elucidating Continental-Wide Phylogeographic and Adaptive Processes Shaping the Genome-Wide Diversity of North America's Most Widely Distributed Tree. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Past population dynamics during the Pleistocene ice age and the Holocene era have profoundly influenced the genetic structure and diversity of species. Environmental heterogeneity has further shaped local and regional adaptive variation. Here, we ask how historical processes have led to the current genetic diversity of a key North American ...

Soil and Site Productivity Effects on Above- and Belowground Radiata Pine Carbon Pools at Harvesting Age [PDF]

Plants
Pinus radiata D. Don is the most widely planted forest species in Chile, making it crucial to understand carbon pools in adult plantations. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of soil type and site productivity on the total carbon stock in adult ...

Using disposable food packaging materials as printing, embedding, and sectioning media in the plant anatomy lab. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise During the COVID‐19 pandemic lockdown, all laboratory work was suspended, and we were obliged to work from home, causing delays in our research. As the disruption to supply chains made it difficult to obtain our regular lab supplies, we were obliged to search for substitutes.
