Eucalyptus sp. WOODCHIP POTENTIAL FOR INDUSTRIAL THERMAL ENERGY PRODUCTION1
Revista Árvore, 2017 The main objective of this work was to identify and analyze the potential of forest biomass of Eucalyptus sp. such as thermal energy source for industrial use in place of fossil fuels. Two cases were analyzed: the first one estimated the total demand for

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Plant Functional Traits of Plants Species Colonizing Forest Gaps
Diversity, 2023 In the research, we studied the typical functional plant traits and life forms of plants that colonize forest gaps. In the research, we analysed functional plant traits of plant species growing on five forest gaps in the Dinaric fir-beech forest in Slovenia. The forest gaps were created as a result of natural disturbances.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Plant Diversity of Forests [PDF]
, 2012 Changes in biological diversity of natural ecosystems have in the second half of 20th century become a global problem due to intensive human activities. Therefore, higher attention has been paid to these problems. The year 1992 can be considered as the pivotal year in this field since in this year the Convention on Biological Diversity was approved on ...

Deer and reforestation in the Pacific Northwest [PDF]
, 1976 Deer and reforestation interact mainly during regeneration after wildfire or logging. In interior forests, browsing by mule deer often damages conifer seedlings planted on winter or transitional ranges.
