Elevated salinity negatively impacts plant growth and yield, presenting substantial challenges to agricultural and forestry productivity. The bHLH transcription factor family is vital for plants to cope with various abiotic stresses. However, it rema...

Severe forest fires caused by extremely high temperatures have resulted in devastating disasters in the natural forest reserves of New South Wales, Australia. Traditional forest research methods primarily rely on manual field surveys, which have limi...

State-owned forest farms are key players in managing forestry resources worldwide, playing a pivotal role in advancing the development of the non-timber forest product industry. This paper constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model involving &ld...

Compound drought and heat events (CDHEs) and forest cover change influence regional forest carbon dynamics. Changes in regional vegetation biomass and soil carbon storage induced by forest cover change often exhibit considerable uncertainty, and prev...

As a polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode capable of simultaneously acquiring abundant surface information and conducting large-width observations, compact polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (CP SAR) holds great promise for mangrove dy...

Fire represents a serious challenge to the safety and integrity of buildings, especially timber structures exposed to high temperatures and intense heat radiation. The combustibility of timber is one of the main reasons why regulations strictly limit...

Wood-based particleboards (PBs) are widely used in construction and interior applications, yet their durability, particularly against biological degradation, remains a challenge. Recycling wood and incorporating degraded particles from rotted wood ca...

Planting plays a significant role in commercial forestry. Labour-related issues (scarcity, increased wages, absenteeism, ageing and high turnover), inconsistent work quality, increased operational costs, and poor ergonomics prompted the development o...

Forests are complex ecosystems that require integrated management to balance economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Conflicting objectives among stakeholders make optimal decision-making particularly challenging. This study seeks to balance...

There is an unexplored knowledge gap regarding the relationship between soil quality and mean annual increment (MAI) in forest plantations in Tanzania. Therefore, this study aimed to identify soil quality indicators and their impact on the mean annua...
