The Non-Market Value of Biodiversity Enhancement in New Zealand's Planted Forests [PDF]
, 2012 This study investigates the non-market value of biodiversity enhancement in New Zealand’s planted forests using the stated choice experiments (CE) approach. This study focuses on two issues. One issue is policy orientated where we estimate the non-market

, 2010 This chapter provides an overview of the effects of planted forests on water resources. Planted forests include both intensively managed forest plantations and more extensively managed planted forests (sensu FAO, 2004) that have been established for wood

Planted Forests: Characterization and Sustainable Management
, 2020 Planted forests are predominantly composed of trees established through planting and/or through deliberate seeding of native or introduced species. Establishment is either through afforestation on land which has not carried forest within living memory ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Neurochemical levels measured by brain MR spectroscopy (MRS) have been proposed as endpoints for clinical trials in early‐stage spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) trials. We tested their trial‐readiness by quantifying neurochemicals in three affected brain regions in early‐stage cohorts of SCA2 and SCA3, examining their reproducibility in ...

Concerns and evidence on genetic diversity in planted forests [PDF]
, 2017 Planted forests are an important source of various services (economic, environmental, and social) with increasing portion in the total world’s forest area. Genetic diversity is fundamental for success and sustainability of planted forests.

Carbon storage through China’s planted forest expansion
Nature CommunicationsChina’s extensive planted forests play a crucial role in carbon storage, vital for climate change mitigation. However, the complex spatiotemporal dynamics of China’s planted forest area and its carbon storage remain uncaptured.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study examines how helicoidal architectures with different porosities respond to bending. Adjusting layer angle and spacing in 3D‐printed polymers reveals clear tradeoffs between stiffness, strength, and energy absorption. Experiments and simulations highlight designs that distribute stress effectively, offering pathways for optimizing lightweight

Mitigation strategies for conserving bird diversity under climate change scenarios in Europe: The role of forest naturalization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 There are many possible strategies to promote naturalization in anthropogenic landscapes to mitigate global change effects. We combined large-scale databases available for continental Spain on: (1) distribution of breeding birds, (2) forest inventory ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study applies machine learning regression to predict chromium layer thickness in decorative trivalent chromium electroplating, using 441 experiments from laboratory‐scale (1L) and pilot‐scale (14L) setups. Tree‐based models, particularly CatBoost, outperformed linear regression by capturing nonlinear parameter interactions (R2$R^2$ up to 0.77 ...

Woody species diversity in forest plantations in a mountainous region of Beijing, China: effects of sampling scale and species selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The role of forest plantations in biodiversity conservation has gained more attention in recent years. However, most work on evaluating the diversity of forest plantations focuses only on one spatial scale; thus, we examined the effects of sampling scale
