Effects of field vegetation control on pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) damage to newly planted Norway spruce seedlings [PDF]

, 2003
We investigated interactions between field vegetation and seedling damage caused by a major insect pest, the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.), in an experiment established on a clear-cut area in southern Sweden.

Comparison of UAV-LiDAR-driven biomass estimation approaches in planted forests with different management

International Journal of Digital Earth
Planted forests play a crucial role in forest restoration and carbon sequestration. However, different management practices in planted forests can alter forest structure and composition, potentially affecting UAV-LiDAR-based biomass estimation.

Diversifying functions of planted forests

, 2005
Planted forests are much more important than their share of the forest area indicates, and their importance will increase with time. They fulfill different functions, e.g.

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Integration of Landsat–Sentinel Time Series and Flowering Phenology for Mapping Planted Forests and Distinguishing Tree Crops

Remote Sensing
Planted forests are increasingly promoted to meet rising demand for forest products and restore degraded lands, but their extent and ecological implications are often misrepresented because tree crops (e.g., orchards, plantation agriculture) exhibit ...

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

Changes in natural forest fragmentation and their driving factors across Japan from 1985 to 2022

Ecological Indicators
Forest fragmentation reduces biodiversity and ecological function. However, some regions now show signs of defragmentation, a recovery process in which forest cover becomes more continuous.

Flax Composites With Improved Interfacial Strength Through Microbially Induced Mineral Precipitation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A bio‐inspired biomineralization strategy introduces an additional hierarchy to flax fiber composites. By controlling microbe‐mediated mineral particle deposition through tuned salt concentrations, stress transfer within the natural fiber composite is enhanced.
