Impact of end‐of‐century climate change on priority non‐timber forest product species across tropical Africa

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 1120-1132, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Plant species providing Non‐Timber Forest Products (NTFP) are economically important across Africa. How this heterogeneous and understudied resource will respond to ongoing climate change remains understudied. Here, we modelled the impact of end‐of‐the‐century climate change on the distribution of 40 NTFP plant species distributed across ...

Tree height prediction in Brazilian Khaya ivorensis stands [PDF]

open access: yesBosque (Valdivia), 2018
 Tree height measurement is one of the most difficult activities in forest inventory data gathering, although it is a fundamental variable to support forest management, since it is an input for modelling growth and yield. To overcome this obstacle and ensure that the heights of trees are estimated accurately, hypsometric relationships are used ...

Fatigue properties of wood at different load ratios tested at 50 Hz and 20 kHz Ermüdungseigenschaften von Holz bei unterschiedlichen Lastverhältnissen geprüft bei 50 Hz und 20 kHz

open access: yesMaterialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 344-354, March 2022., 2022
Fatigue properties of sycamore maple at different load ratios are investigated, and a Haigh diagram is plotted. In addition to servo‐hydraulic testing at 50 Hz, the ultrasonic fatigue testing technique – operating at 20 kHz under tension‐compression loading – is for the first time employed to investigate the fatigue properties of wood.
