The Challenge
This study was to investigate effects of growth rate
and cambial age on properties of wood from two increasingly
used hardwood species, red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) and
Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana Dougl.), for better
understanding factors affecting wood quality in hardwoods.
Thirty 7-year-old trees grown at widely varying...
Although fish are a nutritious food source, they also are the main source of methylmercury exposure in U.S. populations. This research examined the risks from methylmercury and benefits from omega-3 fatty acids and selenium from fish consumption. The first study provided the first region-specific quantitative risk/benefit analysis for nine commonly...
A study was conducted to identify geographical variation in loblolly pine bark and wood properties at the whole-tree level and to quantify the responses in whole-tree
