We measured CO(2) efflux from wood for Eucalyptus in Hawaii for 7 years and compared these measurements with those on three-and four-and-a-half-year-old Eucalyptus in Brazil. In Hawaii, CO(2) efflux from wood per unit ...

In the study by Guarnieri et al1 in this issue of CHEST (see page 1184), the authors reported no evidence for an association between lung function and early randomization to a chimney stove intervention. These findings ...

Backgrounds and Aims Functional-structural models are interesting tools to relate environmental and management conditions with forest growth. Their three-dimensional images can reveal important characteristics of wood used ...

In view of the various uses of wood and due to its characteristics prone to deterioration by fungi and insects, it is necessary to use chemical preservatives such as, for example, chromated copper arsenate, which is ...

We combined measurements of tree growth and carbon dioxide exchange to investigate the effects of selective logging on the Aboveground Live Biomass (AGLB) of a tropical rain forest in the Amazon. Most of the measurements ...

The fauna invertebrate epigeic, as well as biomass and microbial activity are shown efficient indicator of soil quality, because they have high sensitivity to changes in the environment. The sensitivity of these biological ...

The growth of Eucalyptus stands varies several fold across sites, under the influence of resource availability, stand age and stand structure. We describe a series of related studies that aim to understand the mechanisms ...

Frente ao constante crescimento populacional mundial e o aumento da demanda por alimentos, atividades agrícolas e de produção animal encontram-se cada vez mais pressionadas a aumentar suas produtividades com o mínimo de ...
