Optimizing species selection for the structural timbers of traditional farmhouses in a snowy rural area of northeastern Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 795-808, November 2023., 2023
This study examined the species of local woods used in 11 farmhouses constructed between 1845 and 1940 in Tadami, a snowy area in northeastern Japan, and interviewed residents about their use of forest resources. The study found that cedar and white pine were the most commonly used species for essential structural parts, and beech was used for roof ...

Evaluating collaborative scenarios for short food supply chains: a case study on high‐level processing technology

International Journal of Food Science &Technology, Volume 58, Issue 10, Page 5591-5601, October 2023., 2023
Research process and key insights of the study. Summary This study examined three collaborative scenarios for the implementation of a high‐level aseptic filling machine in small‐scale food processing for improved food safety in short food supply chains. A two‐stage research design was implemented, based on an exploration and evaluation phase.

Nanohaloarchaea as beneficiaries of xylan degradation by haloarchaea

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1803-1822, September 2023., 2023
Using samples of natural evaporitic brines and anthropogenic solar salterns, we describe genome‐inferred trophic relations in two extremely halophilic xylan‐degrading three‐member consortia. We succeeded in genome assembly and closure for all members of both xylan‐degrading cultures and elucidated the respective food chains within these consortia.

Increased importance of cool‐water fish at high latitudes emerges from individual‐level responses to warming

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
We studied 11 cool‐water adapted freshwater fish populations in communities dominated by cold‐water adapted species to investigate changes in the relative importance of cool‐water fish during the last 30 years of rapid warming in high latitude lakes.

Resources for plant‐based food: Estimating resource use to meet the requirements of urban and peri‐urban diets

Food and Energy Security, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2023., 2023
A method to estimate resource use by crop systems to meet food needs is proposed. PLATE is a proxy of the per capita intake of energy‐ and nutrient‐rich vegetables. Water, energy, and area use of two urban systems (open field and plant factories with artificial lighting) are compared. The method can support decisions at farm level and in urban‐regional

The consequences of density‐dependent individual growth for sustainable harvesting and management of fish stocks

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 427-438, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Density dependence is likely to act as a regulatory mechanism in fish stocks that are recovering from overfishing. In general, density dependence in fish stocks is assumed to only occur in reproduction and early life stages and is therefore usually modelled as a stock‐recruitment relationship.

Vietnam’s sylviculture [PDF]

FAIPAR, 2014
<p>Vietnam jelentős erdőterülettel – benne primer erdőkkel is – rendelkező ország. A huszadik században az ország erdei nagy változásokon mentek át, mind összetételüket mind mennyiségi részarányukat tekintve. A 1940-es évektől a területi mélypontot jelentő 90-es évekig jelentős erdőterületeket veszített és a megmaradt erdők is károkat szenvedtek.
