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 ...

Phenolic Resin‐Functionalized NH2‐UiO‐66‐Containing Mixed Matrix Membranes for CO2/CH4 Separation

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Phenolic resin‐functionalized small‐size RFin@NH2‐UiO‐66 nanofillers were prepared and combined with polyetherimide (PEI) matrix to construct mixed matrix membranes for effective CO2/CH4 separation. ABSTRACT For mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), the inherent structural features and composition of the embedded nanofillers play a pivotal role in governing ...

Methane cycling in temperate forests

Carbon Balance and Management
Temperate forest soils are considered significant methane (CH4) sinks, but other methane sources and sinks within these forests, such as trees, litter, deadwood, and the production of volatile organic compounds are not well understood.

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.

Thiolate Salt Mediated Dynamic Silyl Ether Exchanges for Polymer Network Design and Deconstruction

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work introduces thiolate salts as mediators for dynamic silyl ether exchange. This platform enables the synthesis of reprocessable covalent adaptable polymer networks (CANs) and allows for sterically controlled, and tunable deconstruction of silyl ether‐containing thermosets.

Challenges of Pain in Parkinson's Disease: Results from the OCEAN Study

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pain is a common non‐motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is often associated to fluctuations. Objective The OpiCapone Effect on motor fluctuations and pAiN (OCEAN) study evaluated the effect of opicapone on fluctuation‐related pain when added to levodopa therapy in PD patients.
