Guabiroba is a native species of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Its fruits are known for their chemical composition, phenolic compounds and carotenoids, which promote antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. However, it has a high moisture content, which makes it perishable. In this study,&...

The plantation and natural forests of South America have been highly impacted by native and exotic pests in recent decades. The interaction of emerging invasive pests, climate change, and timber markets will define the region’s forests, with significant but uncertain ecological changes ...

Cordia trichotoma es una especie nativa que está siendo evaluada para diferentes sistemas forestales. El hecho de que los individuos empleados en las plantaciones posean algún grado de mejoramiento genético tiene muchas ventajas; para lograr este mejoramiento es fundamental la obtención de&#...

The effects of different defoliation levels caused by leaf-cutting ants have not yet been evaluated in Eucalyptus benthammii Maiden et Cambage and Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the losses caused by different defoliation levels on E. benthamm...

Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant initiated a large reforestation programme after the expropriation of the areas destined for the formation of the reservoir. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of forest restoration of the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest in the Upper Paraná Atlantic&...

Os SistemasAgroflorestais (SAFs) têm se consolidado como estratégias integradas de uso do solo capazes de articular produção sustentável, conservação ambiental e promoção da saúde, especialmente em contextos rurais marcados por vulnerabilidades socioeconômicas. Esteartigo analisa os SAFs com espécies nativ...

To establish a biorefinery within kraft-pulp mills, the extraction of fermentable sugars must be balanced with the preservation of fiber quality for papermaking. This study investigates this trade-off by applying partial enzymatic hydrolysis to unbleached high-kappa eucalyptus kraft pulp to co-pr...

Este estudo científico investiga o potencial de melhoramento genético do Pinus taeda, uma das árvores mais relevantes para a indústria madeireira e de papel no Sul do Brasil. Através de um teste de progênies realizado no Paraná, os pesquisadores avaliaram o crescimento inicial e&#x...

Electrolyte retention in electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) is typically achieved through viscous electrolytes or extra manufacturing steps for the reservoir design. In this work, we present a multifunctional solid-dopant matrix (SDM) composed of microfibrillated cellulose embedded with potassium chloride...
