Large zonal and temporal shifts in crops and cultivars coincide with warmer growing seasons in Finland
(Springer, 2020)
In Finland, crop choices are limited, and cultivation is only possible in the regions where production risks and uncertainties are manageable. Climate change progresses rapidly at high latitudes and the thermal growing ...
Influence of storage on the physical and chemical properties of Scots pine bark
(Springer, 2020)
Bark is currently used mainly to produce energy, but the extraction of valuable compounds before combustion offers an interesting cascading use for debarking biomass. Buffer storage is an inevitable part of bark biomass ...
Mechanical properties and water resistance of Vietnamese acacia and rubberwood after thermo-hygro-mechanical modification
(Springer, 2020)
Low density and poor mechanical performance often limit utilisation of sawn wood from fast-growing plantation forests. Thermo-hygro-mechanical modification (THM) of timber is one innovation for improving the properties of ...
Effects of thermal modification on physical and mechanical properties of Mozambican Brachystegia spiciformis and Julbernardia globiflora wood
(Springer, 2020)
Mozambique’s large pool of tropical hardwoods is hampered by the prevalence of low-grade tree species along with a lack of cost-effective processing technologies to improve timber properties. Brachystegia spiciformis and ...
Declining peatland bird numbers are not consistent with the increasing Common Crane population
(Springer, 2020)
The Common Crane (Grus grus) population has experienced an unprecedented increase across Europe during the last decades. Although cranes feed mostly on invertebrates, amphibians and berries during the breeding season, they ...
Role and function of Chondrostereum purpureum in biocontrol of trees
(Springer, 2021)
A decay fungus, Chondrostereum purpureum (Pers. Ex Fr.) Pouzar, has been investigated in Europe, Northern America and New Zealand for its ability to decay hardwood stumps and thus prevent sprouting. The aim of these ...
Experimental evidence on biodiversity impacts of variable retention forestry, prescribed burning, and deadwood manipulation in Fennoscandia
(Springer, 2020)
Intensive forest management has been applied in most Fennoscandian forests for a period of almost one felling rotation. This paradigm has produced even-aged and even-structured forests of different successional stages that ...
Research on retention forestry in Northern Europe
(Springer, 2020)
Retention approaches in forest management are today common in several North European countries, integrated into the clearcutting practice as a way to promote biodiversity and maintain ecosystem functions. Individual green ...
Carbon and water footprint of coffee consumed in Finland—life cycle assessment
(Springer, 2020)
Purpose
Coffee is one of the most widely grown cash crops globally, but there are few scientific articles on its carbon footprint and water scarcity impacts. The aim of this study was to assess the carbon footprint and ...
