Juvenile Wood from Pinus patula Schltdl & Cham for Multilaminated Panel Production
Floresta e Ambiente, 2020 Wood scarcity, attacks by primates and insects, and fungal damage in forest plantations make the introduction of new species necessary. Given this, it is important to understand the potential uses of wood in the production chain.

Global variability in hydraulic traits and water use strategies of mountain shrubs and dwarf shrubs. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Shrubs show a wide range of hydraulic strategies to achieve a balanced and favourable water status in mountain areas. Abstract Shrubs are perennial, multi‐stemmed woody plants whose adaptation to stress factors allows them to colonise extreme habitats, including high elevations. Accordingly, shrubs are one of the most important growth forms in mountain
