The collection of citizen data is often employed to generate insights regarding species distribution, population sizes, and population structure; however, biases inherent in citizen science are seldom addressed. In this study, we examined the factors influencing hunters' observations of moose, Alces alces, during the moose hunting season in Finland. By

Risk factors for bark stripping damage on Norway spruce by red deer
Norway spruce Picea abies is an economically important tree species in Europe, actively managed for forestry. Among the most negative biotic factors for growth and hence forest production is damage caused by wildlife, such as damage through bark stripping by red deer Cervus elaphus.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traits such as behaviour, physiology and morphology mediate an organism's interaction with its environment, and understanding their joint contribution to reproductive fitness is essential for predicting biological responses to global change.

Pedodiversity‐Based Covariates for Digital Soil Mapping Framework
ABSTRACT The integration of soil diversity as a covariate in digital soil mapping framework remains largely unexploited. However, we believe that it may carry important information that can be used to create more accurate digital maps of soil properties.

Corrosion of fasteners in furfurylated wood : final report after 9 years exposure outdoors [PDF]
Corrosion of some common fastener materials – mild steel, stainless steel, zinc-coated steel, brass and Sanbond Z (nickel, zinc and chromate) coated steel – has been evaluated after nine years’ exposure outdoors in untreated Scots pine and furfurylated ...

Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

Effect of Loading Rate on Mechanical Properties of Micro-size Scots Pine Wood
The use of micro-size samples is becoming more important to determine the mechanical properties of wood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the loading rate on the micro-mechanical properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood ...

Influence of temperature on development of pine wilt in scots pine.
The effect of temperature on pine wilt development in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) was examined in three experiments. Container-grown pines (4-6 years old) inoculated with 1,500 Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were incubated at constant temperatures in growth chamber for 8 weeks, then at a temperature range of 15-30 C in a greenhouse for 10-12 weeks ...

Abstract Introduction Climate mitigation by peatland restoration is suggested, but data from restored forestry‐drained peatlands (FDP) is sparse. Studies using surrogate emission factors from pristine peatlands have indicated a long‐lasting warming effect of restoration of nutrient‐poor FDPs, while restoration‐specific studies are missing.
