Rewilding's technological experiments: Virtual reality and scalable narratives of rewilding in the Scottish highlands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.

Maturity of Scots Pine Cones

open access: yesThe Forestry Chronicle, 1979
Cone and seed maturity of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were evaluated for three seed years and several plantations in prairie Canada. Both specific gravity and moisture content provided reliable measures of cone maturity and were directly related to viability of the seed produced.

The wild Scots Pines (Pinus sylvestris) of Kielderhead

open access: yesBritish & Irish Botany, 2023
In the British Isles, Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is currently considered to be native only in the Scottish Highlands. Once widespread throughout the archipelago, the species is thought to have declined to extinction outside the Scottish Highlands c.4500 cal BP, and c.1550 cal BP in Ireland.

Environmental change impacts on the C- and N-cycle of European forests: a model comparison study [Discussion paper] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Forests are important components of the greenhouse gas balance of Europe. There is considerable uncertainty about how predicted changes to climate and nitrogen deposition will perturb the carbon and nitrogen cycles of European forests and thereby alter ...

Climate‐driven intraspecific shifts in seed germination phenology: Consequences for native temperate woodland restoration and regeneration

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...

Boron retranslocation in Scots pine and Norway spruce [PDF]

open access: yesTree Physiology, 2004
We previously traced 10B-enriched boric acid from shoots to roots to demonstrate the translocation of boron (B) in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings. To gain a more detailed understanding of B translocation, we sought: (1) to demonstrate B retranslocation directly, by showing that foliar-applied 10B ...

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Scots pine in Belgium and the Netherlands

open access: yesForest Systems, 2000
Scots pine is the most important tree species in the Netherlands (39 % of the forest area), and one of the three main conifer species in Belgium (10 % of the forest area). The management goals for Scots pine have changed very much during the twentieth century: from the production of mining timber until the 1970’s, to multifunctional forest management ...

Some surface properties of thermally modified scots pine after artificial weathering

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
In this study, it was aimed to investigate some surface characteristics such as surface roughness, color, and glossiness of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) wood specimens after 500 hours artificial weathering exposure.

Afforestation in Serbia in the period 1961-2007 with special reference to Austrian pine and Scots pine [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2009
The significance of afforestation in Serbia is high because only in this way the forest area can be increased and brought to the level which corresponds to the demands of the population.
