Application of Principal Component Analysis and Probabilistic Neural Networks in Ferralsols Recovery Evaluation Through Planting of Mabea Fistulifera and Eucalyptus Urograndis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an innovative assessment model for analyzing the evolution of degraded soils subjected to different reclamation strategies. The proposal combines statistical and artificial intelligence tools to jointly integrate multiple physical and chemical soil properties, allowing for a more synthetic view of the processes.

Barriers to Introduce Mass Timber in Construction in Ecuador - Exploratory Study

Journal of Building Technology
In recent years, there has been a great interest in the use of mass timber in the construction industry. Thanks to configurations such as laminated timber (GLT and CLT), it has been possible to build high-rise buildings with its entire structure (beams, columns, slabs, and walls) made of wood.

Synergistic Effects of Salinization and Artificial Root Exudates on Soil Phosphatase Activity in Coastal Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal soil salinization from rising seawater levels has adverse impacts on soil function, seed germination, and plant growth. Root exudates play a key role in supporting microbial activity, nutrient cycling, and plant health, yet little is known about the combined effects of salinization and the addition of artificial root exudates (AREs) on

Mass Timber Social Housing: Defining barriers and developing strategies to enable mass timber construction for housing associations

, 2021
There is a growing need for social housing in the Netherlands, especially in urban areas. The construction industry faces the difficult task of quickly responding to this demand while also reducing the embodied carbon emissions of new buildings.

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

How uneven access shapes the socio‐economic and environmental potential of game meat value chains: The case of legal game meat in Zambia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Game meat contributes to human nutrition, food security and sociocultural practices around the world. Game meat also comes with risks, including overharvesting and zoonotic and food‐borne disease. These may be pronounced where game meat travels along complex value chains from rural to urban areas.
