Effect of Heat Treatment Upon the Compression Strength of Black Pine and Spruce – A Comparison Between Wood Originating From Mature Trees Vs. Thinnings [PDF]

Pro Ligno, 2013
The paper presents the results of anexperimental study performed with black pine (Pinusnigra L.) and spruce (Picea abies L.) wood, originatingfrom mature trees and thinnings cut from the sameparcel from the Stroesti-Arges region in Romania.After air ...

Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.

Life‐history stages and behavior influence demographic classification of moose captured on remote cameras

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Mechanisms of resistance of white spruce to the spruce bud moth

The Forestry Chronicle, 1996
There is a genetic basis to resistance of open-grown white spruce trees to their primary pest, the spruce bud moth, Zeiraphera canadensis Mutt. & Free. Resistance is attributable to late budburst and unknown factors associated with higher predation and parasitism of eggs and mortality of old larvae.

Vehicle‐assisted suicidal strangulation: A case report and literature review

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Vehicle‐assisted suicidal strangulation is an unusual method of suicide where the victim completes suicide by pulling a ligature tied around their neck using the acceleration of the vehicle they are driving. This report describes a case of a 48‐year‐old man who completed suicide by tying a rope to his neck and to a parked tractor, then using ...

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Climatic conditions, landscape, and habitat quality drive patch occupancy and larval density of a threatened mire butterfly

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno) benefited from cattle grazing in three different ways by (i) fostering the nectar supply; (ii) enhancing rejuvenation of the host plant (Vaccinium uliginosum); and (iii) improving microclimatic conditions for successful development of the immature stages.
