Derivation of the shear modulus on the adhesive layer measured by digital image correlation: study on the tensile shear tests of wood-based materials with veneer

Journal of Wood Science
In this study, peeling veneers of Japanese cedar and Japanese larch were parallel or cross laminated, respectively, and tensile shear tests were conducted.

Structural and thermodynamic analyses of a novel β‐1,2‐glucan binding mode in the ABC transporter solute‐binding protein Chy400_4166 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cyclic β‐1,2‐glucan (CβG)‐associated solute‐binding protein of type I ABC transporter was originally identified in Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a phototrophic bacterium. Crystal structures in complex with CβGs revealed unique binding modes that are fundamentally distinct from that of the short β‐1,2‐glucooligosaccharides‐binding protein.

Effect of grooving pretreatment on flame retardant vacuum-pressure impregnation performance of full-size timbers

Journal of Wood Science
We reported in a previous study that wood fiber orthogonal grooving improves flame retardant vacuum-pressure impregnation performance. However, it was limited to small sample sizes.

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Exploring the mechanical and morphological rationality of tree branch structure based on 3D point cloud analysis and the finite element method

Scientific Reports, 2022
Trees are thought to have acquired a mechanically optimized shape through evolution, but a scientific methodology to investigate the mechanical rationality of tree morphology remains to be established.

Land Carbon Sink Distribution in Northern Eurasia Is Driven by Climate Change

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests are a major contributor to the global land carbon sink under rising CO2 concentrations and a changing climate. Carbon sink estimates for Northern Eurasia from forest inventories, flux mapping, and remote sensing have moved toward convergence over the past decade, although substantial differences remain. Several bottom‐up and top‐

Varying responses of arthropod assemblages to clear‑cutting and aggregated retention harvestings

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Local environmental conditions shape forest biodiversity, while silvicultural practices like clear-cutting and retention harvesting can rapidly alter forest structure and microclimate, affecting ecosystem services.

Tracing radioactive cesium in stem wood of three Japanese conifer species 3 years after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident

Journal of Wood Science, 2020
To understand the dynamics of accident-derived radioactive cesium (137Cs) in stem wood that had a substantial amount of heartwood at the time of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, the radial and vertical distributions of 137Cs activity ...
