Abstract:
... In the present study, the potential competitive or synergetic adsorption mechanism of phosphate and antibiotics from a solution using chestnut shell (CS)-derived biochar was explored. CSs were utilized as the raw material to prepare biochar (BCCS) and modified biochar (MBCCS) via an oxygen-isolated pyrolysis, and subsequent modification using KMnO₄ and FeCl₃. Following the carbonization, the bioch ...

Here, we investigated how deep soil (down to 300 cm) water extraction contributed to the provision of water in the Fontainebleau-Barbeau temperate oak forest over two years, including the 2018 record drought. Deep water provision was key to sustain canopy transpiration during drought, with layers below 150 cm ...

... In recent years, noise pollution generated by increasing global urbanization has become an important issue. This study focused on determining the sound absorption coefficients (SACs) of untreated tree trunks as natural fiber-based materials and predicting their noise reduction coefficients (NRCs). It also evaluated the effects of noise reduction using numerical data. One of the most effective acou ...

Abstract:
... Due to their ubiquity and their nature as generalist predators, ants have long been used as biological control agents in forest and agricultural systems. Several exotic ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) are considered emerging widespread pests of various trees and shrubs growing in forests, nurseries, orchards, and urban areas. Among them, the Scolytinae Xylosa ...
