Plantation forestry is an important land use in New Zealand (currently 7% of the area), and recent central government incentives for tree planting will likely result in further increases in the future. Plantation forestry in New Zealand often occurs on steep, high‐erodible land, often as a form of catchment restoration and/or erosion control.

Tubular pyrolysis synthesis is a widespread method to produce activated carbons (ACs). This review focuses on the different controlling parameters of the tubular pyrolysis synthesis method and their influence on the performance of synthesized ACs, thereby considering both experimental aspects and the use of plant‐based biomasses (PBBs) as feedstock ...

Ovarian influence on circadian and infradian modulation of nicotine‐seeking in female mice
Abstract Sex differences in tobacco intake are closely associated with hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle in women. Elevated estrogen levels have been associated with increased stress, which may lead to a higher likelihood of seeking psychoactive substances.

Wood and fibre properties of fertilized Norway spruce [PDF]
Very intensive forest management is relatively unexplored in Sweden, and while there is interest in pursuing e.g. the use of fertilizers on selected areas, there is concern about the quality of the wood when growth rate increases.
