Bio-based adhesives could be an important addition to dispersion- and solvent-based adhesives due to increasing environmental and health requirements. This could also improve the environmental impact of many composite products. The aim of this review is to examine whether adhesive technologies have already been investigated for their environmental...
The ongoing fragmentation of ash populations due to ash dieback requires an effective gene flow between individuals; thus, investigations on ash pollen transport are essential. In this study, comprehensive aerobiological field experiments at two seed plantations in Baden-Württemberg were conducted in 2019 and 2020 in order to study the influence of...
Fragmented ash populations due to ash dieback may lead to a limited gene flow and pollination success. Therefore, the viability of ash pollen plays a major role for the survival of the species. The extent to which the long-distance transport of pollen affects pollen viability was investigated with experiments in a climate chamber using ash pollen s...
Key message: Paternity analyses show that effective pollination of ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) in a seed orchard and a floodplain forest affected by ash dieback is more likely to be facilitated by healthier males. Thereby, natural selection can have a positive effect on the health of future generations.
Context: Ongoing ash dieback and increasing f...
Forest tree species reproduction is a key factor in maintaining the genetic diversity of future generations and the stability of forest ecosystems. The ongoing ash dieback disease could affect the reproductive ecology of Fraxinus excelsior L. and have a major impact on the quantity and quality of pollen and seeds. In this study, we investigated pol...
Key message
Ash dieback causes alterations in leaf physiology and morphology, particularly affecting the specific leaf area, which can be used to discriminate between different degrees of damage.
Abstract
Since the introduction of the invasive fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus in Europe, the European common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) has be...
Pollen viability plays a crucial role in reproduction. Given the enormous threat posed to the common ash ( Fraxinus excelsior L.) by ash dieback, it is important to investigate the disease's effects on pollen viability and germination. Thus, we conducted an analysis of these pollen characteristics across three distinct forest stands in southern Bav...
Background and Objectives: The existence of common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) in Europe is severely endangered by ash dieback. To support its future sustainability, it is essential to improve the natural ash regeneration. The main aim of this study was to investigate the influence of light conditions, conceivably influenced by stand structure/ash die...
This report gives an overview on biobased adhesives from a chemical and technical perspective, sustainability aspects as well as consumers' view on them.
Microalgae can play a key role in overcoming the shortage of biomass in the European bioeconomy. This study evaluates the potential of using microalgal residues from the production of lipopeptides as a feedstock for polylactic acid. In order to investigate the environmental potential of the proposed multi-output product system, eight different stud...
