Forests are of major importance to human society, contributing several crucial ecosystem services. Biodiversity is suggested positively influence multiple services but evidence from natural systems at scales relevant management scarce. Here, across a scale 400,000 km2, we report that tree species richness in production forests shows positive hump-shaped relationships with These include biomass, soil carbon storage, berry and game potential. For example, biomass was approximately 50% greater...
The majority of the world's forests are used for multiple purposes, which often include potentially conflicting goals timber production and biodiversity conservation. A scientifically validated management approach that can reduce such conflicts is retention forestry, an modeled on natural processes, emerged in last 25 years as alternative to clearcutting. portion original stand left unlogged maintain continuity structural compositional diversity. We detail forestry's ecological role, review...
Swedish forestry is among the most technically developed in world; a large part of all forest used for commercial forestry, which has had impact on structure and function ecosystems. We have compiled present knowledge distribution habitat associations 1487 threatened species Sweden, made an attempt to identify structures elements that are critical their occurrence suggest guidelines maintenance species. Habitat patterns were roughly same organism groups. A significantly higher proportion...
Carbonylated proteins were visualized in single cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, revealing that they accumulate with replicative age. Furthermore, carbonylated not inherited by daughter during cytokinesis. Mother a strain lacking sir2 gene, life-span determinant, failed to retain oxidatively damaged These findings suggest genetically determined, Sir2p-dependent asymmetric inheritance may contribute free-radical defense and fitness newborn cells.
Summary Given the substantial contributions of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services to society, sciences have a large potential contribute integrity sustainability our future. This is especially true when roles for sustaining are considered. The rapid expansion sustainable management ( SFM ) has resulted in adoption various frameworks intended safeguard biodiversity. Concurrently, importance been increasingly recognized. Although some initiatives aimed at conserving both emerging,...
Industrial forestry typically leads to a simplified forest structure and altered species composition. Retention of trees at harvest was introduced about 25 years ago mitigate negative impacts on biodiversity, mainly from clearcutting, is now widely practiced in boreal temperate regions. Despite numerous studies response flora fauna retention, no comprehensive review has summarized its effects biodiversity comparison clearcuts as well un-harvested forests. Using systematic protocol, we...
Abstract Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given spatial extent unprotected forests, finding management approaches that will sustain their multiple environmental, economic, and cultural values prevent conversion other uses imperative. The major challenge native further demonstrated by ongoing steep declines biodiversity carbon stocks. Here, we suggest an essential part such...
Retention forestry implies that biological legacies like dead and living trees are deliberately selected retained beyond harvesting cycles to benefit biodiversity ecosystem functioning. This model has been applied for several decades in even-aged, clearcutting (CC) systems but less so uneven-aged, continuous-cover (CCF). We provide an overview of retention CCF temperate regions Europe, currently largely focused on habitat wood. The relevance current meta-analyses many other studies CC is...
The accumulation of compatible solutes, such as glycerol, in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , is a ubiquitous mechanism cellular osmoregulation. Here, we demonstrate that cells control glycerol part via regulated, Fps1p‐mediated export glycerol. Fps1p member MIP family channel proteins most closely related to bacterial facilitators. protein localized plasma membrane. physiological role appears be rather than uptake. Fps1Δ mutants are sensitive hypo‐osmotic shock, demonstrating osmolyte...
Dilute-acid hydrolyzates from alder, aspen, birch, willow, pine, and spruce were fermented without prior detoxification. The prepared by a one-stage hydrolysis process using sulfuric acid (5 g/L) at temperatures between 188 234 °C with holding time of 7 min. fermentations carried out anaerobically Saccharomyces cerevisiae (10 g d.w./L) temperature 30 an initial pH 5.5. fermentabilities quite different for the wood species, only produced 198 °C, pine willow could be completely within 24 h....
Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC) was deposited in tubular form by fermenting Acetobacter xylinum on top of silicone tubes as an oxygenated support and blowing different concentrations oxygen, that is, 21% (air), 35%, 50%, 100%. Mechanical properties such burst pressure tensile were evaluated for all tubes. The the increased with increase oxygen ratio reached a value 880 mmHg at 100% oxygen. Young's modulus approximately 5 MPa tubes, irrespective ratio. elongation to break decreased from 30%...
Maintenance of a cytoplasmic redox balance is necessity for sustained cellular metabolism. Glycerol formation the only way by which Saccharomyces cerevisiae can maintain this under anaerobic conditions. Aerobically, on other hand, several different adjustment mechanisms exist, one these being glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) shuttle. We have studied importance shuttle aerobic conditions comparing growth properties and wild-type strain with that gut2 delta mutants, lacking FAD-dependent...
Abstract The woodland key habitat (WKH) concept has become an essential instrument in biodiversity-orientated forest management northern Europe. philosophy behind the is basically same all of countries: to conserve biodiversity production landscapes by preserving small patches that are supposed be particularly valuable. This article reviews definitions, inventories and implementation processes WKHs Sweden, Finland, Norway, Latvia, Estonia Lithuania. Sweden Baltic countries have similar WKH...
Abstract Aim Large disturbances increasingly shape the world's forests. Concomitantly, increasing amounts of forest are subject to salvage logging. Understanding and managing forests thus hinges upon understanding combined effects natural disturbance logging disturbance, including interactions so far unnoticed. Here, we use recent advances in disturbance‐interaction theory disentangle describe mechanisms through which (e.g., wildfire, insect outbreak or windstorm) can interact with...
Wildfires, insect outbreaks, and windstorms are increasingly common forest disturbances. Post-disturbance management often involves salvage logging, i.e., the felling removal of affected trees; however, this practice may represent an additional disturbance with effects on ecosystem processes services. We developed a systematic map to provide overview primary studies topic created database information characteristics retrieved publications, including stands, disturbance, intervention,...
