Seedling regeneration after a high intensity wildfire was assessed in a mixed forest dominated by Eucalyptus species andCallitris endlicheri (Parl.) F.M.Bailey. Patternswere compared against the ‘slow seedling’or ‘tortoise-and-hare’ theory of competitive interactions betweengymnosperms andangiosperms.Browsing effectswere documentedusing fenced plots, and seedling density, mortality and height w...

Some pulp mills expect to produce viscose fiber by means of pre-existing pulp production lines as used for conventional kraft pulp having a relatively high content of hemicellulose. In the present study oxygenreinforced alkali extraction was used to dissolve the oxidized lignin, which increased the content of alpha cellulose and increased the degree of mercerization. This paper considers the in...

Eucalyptus plantations are frequently used for the establishment of bee yards. This study was carried on at Fazenda Brejão, northwestern region of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This farm is covered both with native Cerrado vegetation (Brazilian savanna) and eucalyptus plantations. This paper reports on the botanic origin of pollen pellets and honey collected from honeybee (Apis mellifera) ...

Some pretreatments that swell and/or open the structure of wood fibers could increase the effectiveness of a biobleaching process, allowing for an industrial application. To this end, a chemical pretreatment (urea, U), a physical pretreatment (refining, R), and their combinations (RU and UR) were optimized to evaluate and compare their enhancement of the LE biobleaching sequence (laccase-mediat...

Os efeitos da polpação kraft nas propriedades interfaciais da polpa de eucalipto brasileiro foram investigados usando titulação com polieletrólito (PT) e medidas de ângulo de contato. Mudanças na composição química da superfície foram avaliadas por espectrometria de reflexão total atenuada no infravermelho (FTIR-ATR), combinada com análise de componentes principais (PCA). O aumento do álcali at...

Dear Sir, We read the excellent short review article of Higgins et al. (1) on contact allergy to and the safety of eucalyptus oil with great interest. Having recently finished writing a full literature review of contact allergy to and the chemical composition of essential oils (2), we would like to give some additional information on eucalyptus oil. Also, we will address the question raised by ...

The work analyzed the effect of two types low-input farming conditions on yield components and bioactive compounds in pulp peel tomato fruits. first (LI) system involved application cow manure manual weed control; second (LIMI), same was integrated with mulching (the wood chips eucalyptus) intercropping (basil cabbage plants). study included line 392, harboring hp-2 gene that increases pigments...

Abstract In this work, we used the conventional wet papermaking process and solution casting procedure to make paper sheets optimized relative content of eucalyptus Simao pine pulps using mechanical properties sheet as evaluation index. The chemical composition, water retention value, zeta potential, carboxyl content, drainage behavior pulp created optimal mass ratio for each method were measur...
