The aim of the research was to determine the production viability and mechanical durability
of briquettes made of shredded cones of three species: Scots pine, Norway spruce and …

We assess the potential of X-ray microtomography as a tool for the non-destructive, three-
dimensional examination of the internal structure of charcoal. Microtomographic analysis of …

Background and aims The water storage properties of plant residues play an important role
in the regulation of water retention and water transport in no-till agricultural soils. The …

The permineralization of trees by pervasive silicification, that is, when forests are buried by
volcanic pyroclastics, is simulated with closed-system experiments at 100° C. The silica …

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are among the most hazardous of all volcanic processes
in terms of high speeds and unpredictable extent. While concentrated PDCs are usually …

This study was conducted to determine the effect of wood species on physical and
mechanical properties of some selected wood in the Tropical Rainforest Ecosystem, Ondo …

Pyrolysis of solid fuels forms a solid carbon-rich fuel, also called char, whose physico-
chemical description is rather complex. Heterogeneous oxidation reactions take place …

The growth in the Humulus lupulus L. or hops industry, a perennial species, driven by
demand from brewers has had annual revenue growth of 11.3% since 2015 making it one of …

A branch of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) from a silica sinter apron of Cistern Spring,
Yellowstone National Park, is partially mineralized with silica gel. The distribution of Si …

Several studies have suggested that CO2 transport in the transpiration stream can
considerably bias estimates of root and stem respiration in ring-porous and diffuse-porous …
