Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
