Emerging technologies for the development of wood products towards extended carbon storage and CO2 capture

Carbon Capture Science & Technology, 2022
Forests have an important role in mitigating greenhouse gasses and global climate warming by storing carbon. Carbon is locked in trees through photosynthesis, which contributes around 50% of the dry mass of wood.

A Quantitative Approach for Assessing and Monitoring the Social Licence of Forestry to Operate: A New Zealand Case Study

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social Licence to Operate (SLO) is an increasingly strategic concern in forestry, yet its evaluation remains largely qualitative. This study presents the first quantitative framework for assessing SLO in New Zealand's forestry sector, adapted from the Boutilier and Thomson model, originally developed for the mining sector.

Embedding a Dinuclear Ru─Pt Photocatalyst Into Polyampholytic Graft Copolymer Matrix Enables Prolonged Hydrogen Evolution While Allowing Catalyst Repair

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A unimolecular polyampholytic graft copolymer matrix provides a protective confinement for an electrostatically embedded tetrapyridophenazine‐bridged heterodinuclear Ru‐Pt hydrogen evolving photocatalyst. The matrix slows the degradation kinetics of the catalyst and at the same time does not hinder its repair by ammonium persulfate.

Genomic selection for non-key traits in radiata pine when the documented pedigree is corrected using DNA marker information

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Non-key traits (NKTs) in radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) refer to traits other than growth, wood density and stiffness, but still of interest to breeders.

Modelling of population structure through contemporary groups in genetic evaluation

BMC Genetics, 2019
Background Forest trees can occupy extensive geography and environmentally highly variable areas which result in high genetic variability in the direction of pressure from natural selection.

Natural forests in New Zealand – a large terrestrial carbon pool in a national state of equilibrium

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background Natural forests cover approximately 29% of New Zealand’s landmass and represent a large terrestrial carbon pool. In 2002 New Zealand implemented its first representative plot-based natural forest inventory to assess carbon stocks and stock ...

Genetic Variation in Drought-Tolerance Traits and Their Relationships to Growth in Pinus radiata D. Don Under Water Stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The selection of drought-tolerant genotypes is globally recognized as an effective strategy to maintain the growth and survival of commercial tree species exposed to future drought periods.

A novel bubbling fluid bed reactor for the autothermal pyrolysis of waste plastics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A new pilot‐scale fluidized bed reactor operated under continuous conditions was developed and tested for the thermal pyrolysis of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). The study focused on assessing the reliability and operability of the system under different operating conditions (400–550°C), while monitoring mass and energy balances, product ...

The microorganisms and metabolome of Pinus radiata Pollen

Environmental Microbiome
Background Pollen is a crucial source of nutrients and energy for pollinators. It also provides a unique habitat and resource for microbiota. Previous research on the microbiome of pollen has largely focused on angiosperm systems, with limited research ...

An Assessment of High-Density UAV Point Clouds for the Measurement of Young Forestry Trials

Remote Sensing, 2020
The measurement of forestry trials is a costly and time-consuming process. Over the past few years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have provided some significant developments that could improve cost and time efficiencies.
