(2024-01-30)The structure and composition of forests have a strong influence on forest ecosystems and their services and functions. From today's perspective, important properties such as ecosystem stability, biodiversity conservation ... -
Phylogenetic history and global diversity patterns of plants
(2024-01-26)Understanding where and how biodiversity originates and how it is maintained is one of the central questions in biogeography and macroecology. Phylogenies capture the evolutionary history of how lineages have diversified ... -
Fabrication of Multidimensional Sustainable Materials from Wood via Alkaline Periodate Oxidation
(2024-01-22)Producing multidimensional sustainable materials from wood using alkaline periodate oxidation (APO) is a promising path toward new materials that take advantage of the inherent properties of wood and the environmentally ... -
Genetic diversity of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) populations and agronomic traits for breeding
(2023-12-11)The tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao L., is cultivated to produce seeds, the unique raw material for the chocolate industry. Thus, conservation and use of cacao genetic resources in breeding programs are vital for the ... -
Global macroecology of ant-plant mutualisms: The role of biotic interactions in shaping species diversity and composition patterns
(2023-12-11)Understanding the mechanisms underlying patterns of species distribution and diversity is a central goal in ecology and biogeography. Biotic interactions have been acknowledged as important factors affecting species diversity ... -
Seagrass as a Sustainable Alternative for Building Materials: Assessing its Feasibility, Processing Methods, and Performance in Construction
(2023-12-08)Seagrasses are vital contributors to the ecosystem, absorbing atmospheric CO2 and generating oxygen for marine life. However, when they decompose, the accumulated biomass along the shores can lead to concerns like CO2 and ... -
Influence of forest machine operator work practices and operator assistance systems on the efficiency of fully mechanized timber harvesting systems
(2023-12-01)Introduction: Fully mechanized harvesting systems consisting of harvesters and forwarders represent state-of-the-art technology within modern timber harvesting operations. The droughts of the past years, consecutive ... -
Dynamics and effects of nitrogen in European forest ecosystems
(2023-10-23)Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) emissions drastically altered the global N cycle over the 20th century. Activities associated with N emissions, such as intensive agriculture and the burning of fossil fuels, greatly increased ... -
Morphological variation, proximity to water, comparative venom proteomics and snakebite epidemiology of the medically important Cypriot blunt-nosed viper Macrovipera lebetina lebetina
(2023-09-22)Snakes and humans are in a complex relationship. While snakes are of ecological and economic relevance as rodent predators, thus contributing to food security and public health, venomous species are also of medical importance ... -
Linking China Forest Ecology Development with Power: Cases from 1998 to 2022
(2023-09-22)Since the 1980s, China's forest area has experienced a remarkable recovery, simultaneously promoting the ecological functions of forests in biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration. China's forest transformation ... -
