Oikos, EarlyView.Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

Earthquakes and robustness [PDF]
, 2011 This guideline was prepared within the COST Action E55 "Modelling of the performance of timber structures" WG3 "Robustness of Structures". The main objective of the Action is to provide the basic framework and knowledge required for the efficient ans ...

Vigas de pino silvestre sometidas a flexión : influencia de defectos y singularidades = Wild pine beams subjected to bending : influence of defects and singularities [PDF]
, 2015 This paper presents an experimental study of the behavior of 18 timber beams for structural use of 155x75x1090mm dimensions. The origin of the wood is Valsaín sawmill. The tests were performed at the Laboratory of Construction Materials at the University

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

BioResources, 2014 In the past few decades, the use of glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) to enhance the strength and stiffness of timber beams has been established. Research to predict the performance of structural timber is ongoing.

Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.
