Response of Global Forest Management to Changes in Wood Demand. [PDF]
This study uses a global land use modelling framework (LandSyMM) to simulate global wood demand, harvests, and forest management intensity under a range of socioeconomic and climate scenarios. Findings indicate that global wood demand could increase between 27% and 102% by 2100. This rise in demand is expected to be met primarily through more intensive

Calculation of Myocardial Percentage Collagen, Mast Cell Count and Presence of Arteriosclerosis in Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease and Control Dogs-A Pilot Study. [PDF]
This pilot study explored the feasibility of calculating myocardial percentage collagen (PMC), mast cell (MC) count and assessing arteriosclerosis in canine myocardial tissue. No significant difference in PMC, MC count or arteriosclerosis was detected between dogs with and without myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD).

Role of Forest Carbon Change in Shaping Future Land Use and Land Cover Change. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Global change, particularly the changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration, climatic variables, and nitrogen deposition, has been widely recognized and examined to have worldwide impacts on forest carbon. However, its influence on forest area required to meet the demand for timber and carbon storage and subsequent land use and land cover change (

Dry-Matter Loss and Changes in the Chemical Composition of Spruce Wood after Long-Term Storing in the Form of Roundwood. [PDF]
Wood stock in a warehouse is a necessary precondition for reliable manufacturing. However, wood can degrade and lose the matter during storage. “Dry-matter loss (DML)” is used to quantify the degradation following the changes in mass of a wood substance.

Scenario analysis of supply- and demand-side solutions for circular economy and climate change mitigation in the global building sector. [PDF]
Abstract Residential and non‐residential buildings are a major contributor to human well‐being. At the same time, buildings cause 30% of final energy use, 18% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), and about 65% of material accumulation globally. With electrification and higher energy efficiency of buildings, material‐related emissions gain relevance. The

Worldwide trends in methods for harvesting and extracting industrial roundwood
Globally, almost 2 billion cubic meters of industrial roundwood are harvested yearly. Two of the most common methods of harvest and extraction are cut-to-length (CTL) and full-tree or tree-length (FT/TL).
