Nature-Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass. [PDF]

Chem Rec
Nature‐positive materials engineering can link satoyama forest stewardship with the design of carbon electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis. By turning underused firewood and charcoal resources into functional carbons, this approach reduces mining footprints while supporting biodiversity, landscape resilience, and regional ...

Season-dependent fine root production at a deciduous Quercus serrata plantation in Japan

Vietnam Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering, 2022
The production of fine roots (diameter ≤2 mm) contributes considerably to carbon cycling in forest ecosystems. Fine roots constitute a significant organic matter pool with high net primary productivity and turnover.

Fungal Community Analyses of Endophytic Fungi from Two Oak Species, Quercus mongolica and Quercus serrata, in Korea

, 2021
Fungal endophytes have been recorded in various plant species with a richness of diversity, and their presence plays an essential role in host plant protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. This study applied the Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform

Airborne Bacteria Are Influenced by Surrounding Soil, Litter and Vegetation at a Forest Campsite [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Airborne bacterial communities in a recreational forest were compositionally distinct from litter and surface soil at the ASV level, as shown by NMDS ordination. Yet partial overlap with ground habitats indicates that local litter and soil act as important, but incomplete, reservoirs shaping the forest aerobiome across contrasting vegetation types ...

Long-Term Effects of Climate Variability on Seed Rain Dynamics of Four Fagaceae Sympatric Species in Qinling Mountains, China

Biology, 2022
Seed rain, as the beginning of species dispersal, is a key process for forest structure and regeneration. In this study, the seed rain of four Fagaceae sympatric plant species (Castaneamollissima, Quercus aliena, Quercus variabilis, and Quercus serrata ...

Incorporating cache management behavior into seed dispersal: the effect of pericarp removal on acorn germination. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Selecting seeds for long-term storage is a key factor for food hoarding animals. Siberian chipmunks (Tamias sibiricus) remove the pericarp and scatter hoard sound acorns of Quercus mongolica over those that are insect-infested to maximize returns from ...
