Bracket fungi(Polypores)are a morphologically distinct category of Agaricomycetes(Basidiomycota)that are important agents for decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.The species composition and ecology...
This study looked into the best concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) to use while propagating Synsepalum dulcificum, or miracle fruit, from stem cuttings. IBA concentrations ranging from 0 to 500 mg/L were app...

We analyzed over 8 decades of change in forest composition(represented by species proportion of basal area)and size class from more than 400 permanent plots located on the Bartlett Experimental Forest in the White Mou...
The relationships between climate conditions and wood density in tropical forests are still poorly understood.To quantify spatial dependence of wood density in the state of Minas Gerais(MG,Brazil),map spatial distribu...

Background:Higher exportation of harvest residues from forests due to increased demand for woody biomass,has reportedly diminished soil mineral resources and may lead to degraded tree nutrition as well as growth.Howev...
The demand for high-performance,yet eco-friendly materials is increasing on all scales from small applications in the car industry,instrument or furniture manufacturing to greater dimensions like floorings,balcony fur...
The objective of this work is to develop a new method for extracting nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC) from eucalyptus. CNC was isolated from eucalyptus using 6:4 (v/v) tetrahydrofuran/water. The chemical and crystallin...
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural are promising chemicals for the creation of a bio-based economy. The development of an inexpensive catalytic system for converting cellulosic biomass into these chemicals is an...
Dairy pastures can be a major source of soil nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)emissions due to the combination of intensive nitrogen(N)fertiliser use and high soil water content,from either rainfall and/or irrigation.Biochar appl...
