2024年7月31日 · We made some key new discoveries in this survey – an entirely novel form of wood ultrastructure never observed before and a family of gymnosperms with angiosperm-like hardwood instead of the typical gymnosperm softwood.

2024年9月17日 · Softwoods include pines and firs and generally grow faster than hardwoods, like oaks and maples, which can take several decades to mature and make a denser wood. However, our recent research has uncovered something completely new: a …

2024年8月13日 · Oak trees accumulate more wood when there is more carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere. That’s the key finding from our new study, carried out in a long-established forest in Staffordshire,...

2024年9月11日 · They found that Tulip Trees, relatives of magnolias that can grow well over 100 feet tall, have a unique type of wood that does not fit into either category of hardwood or softwood. This groundbreaking discovery may open new opportunities to improve carbon sequestration in plantation forests by planting a fast-growing tree more commonly seen in ...

2024年10月15日 · Our findings reveal a pronounced latitudinal gradient, with wood in tropical forests being up to 30% denser than that in boreal forests. In both angiosperms and gymnosperms, hydrothermal...

2024年9月10日 · Softwoods include pines and firs and generally grow faster than hardwoods, like oaks and maples, which can take several decades to mature and make a denser wood. However, our recent research has...

4 天之前 · “We found that a forest that's developing toward old-growth condition is accruing more wood in the stream than is being lost through decomposition,” Peters-Collaer said. “As long as the wood recruitment rates exceed the loss rates, you have a net increase in total carbon stored.

2024年8月14日 · Oak trees accumulate more wood when there is more carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere. That's the key finding from our new study, carried out in a long-established forest in Staffordshire,...

Oak trees accumulate more wood when there is more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. That's the key finding from our new study, carried out in a long-established forest in Staffordshire,...

Scientists have discovered an entirely new kind of wood, a finding that could turbocharge trees’ ability to store carbon. Tulip trees feature a nanoscale wood structure that sits somewhere...
