Young mixed planted forests store more carbon than monocultures—a meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2023
Although decades of research suggest that higher species richness improves ecosystem functioning and stability, planted forests are predominantly monocultures.

Population structure and body condition of White-crested Elaenia (Elaenia albiceps) in relation to habitat in a modified Neotropical forest landscape

Avian Research, 2023
Despite the widely accepted view that planted forests are valuable habitat for wildlife species, there is a lack of empirical evidence showing the suitability of this novel habitat, especially in relation to plantations of exotic tree species ...

Similarity among eucalyptus planted areas based on leaf-cutting ant nest sizes

Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira, 2021
Techniques for leaf-cutting ant control have been investigated in literature due to the importance of the damage they cause to agriculture. Plantations with large territorial extensions, which can be contiguous or not, are usually subdivided into local ...

Tree diversity and timber productivity in planted forests: Pinus patula versus mixed cloud forest species

, 2020
Planted forests contribute to maximizing timber production but their role as valuable habitat for diversity is of increasing concern, particularly in tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) landscapes, which present extremely high diversity and endemism. We

Climate factors dominate the spatial variation of forest soil nutrients: a meta analysis

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
The management mode of forests has significant impacts on soil nutrients. However, with global changes, there is scant evidence to suggest whether the soil nutrients in planted and natural forests have a consistent response mechanism to environmental ...

Spatial pattern and driving factors of biomass carbon density for natural and planted coniferous forests in mountainous terrain, eastern Loess Plateau of China

Forest Ecosystems, 2020
Background Understanding the spatial pattern and driving factors of forest carbon density in mountainous terrain is of great importance for monitoring forest carbon in support of sustainable forest management for mitigating climate change.

Comparison of Planted Pine versus Natural Mix Forests in Nepal [PDF]

This study aimed to compare the socio-environmental benefits of one of the most widely planted forest species, i.e., Pinus roxburghii (Sarg., hereafter ‘Pine’ or ‘Pinus’) with naturally regenerated mixed forests in two community ...

Targeting the EpCAM‐AXL axis to overcome drug resistance in lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung cancer cells often evade therapy by hijacking signaling pathways. We reveal that cleaved EpCAM (sEpCAM) stabilizes the oncogenic protein AXL, driving NF‐κB and STAT3‐mediated chemoresistance. This EpCAM‐AXL axis identifies a high‐risk patient subset with poor prognosis.

Enhanced CO2 Response and Aging‐Related Dynamics Drive a Greater Leaf Area Index Increase in China's Planted Forests in Comparison to Natural Forests

Geophysical Research Letters
China's forests have experienced a notable increase in leaf area, driven by planted forest expansion and natural forest conservation. However, how planted and natural forests respond differently to environmental changes remains unclear.

De novo synthesis of short‐chain aldehydes and hydrocarbons secreted by the brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, mainly secretes 4‐oxo‐(E)‐2‐hexenal, (E)‐2‐decenal, dodecane and tridecane, a mixture representative of that released by many heteropterans. We demonstrated that H. halys can synthesise these secretory components de novo using dietary glucose.
