Abstract: The batted-ball performances of youth wood and nonwood bats are examined through experimental methods. The goals of the study are to build a database of performance data on youth bats using a hitting machine in a controlled laboratory environment and to examine how the lab data compare using three performance metrics including the current BPF certification metric. The performance metr...

wood and non-wood resources in the forests have occupied a very important place in human’s life, since the advent of history. and today, developing technology along with increasing needs enhance the importance of the other functions of forests, in parallel with wood production. both in the world and as well in turkey, one of the featured functions of forests is the production of non-woodforest ...

Carbon stocks in managed forests of Ontario, Canada, and in harvested wood products originated from these forests were estimated for 2010-2100. Simulations included four future forest harvesting scenarios based on historical harvesting levels (low, average, high, and maximum available) and a no-harvest scenario. In four harvesting scenarios, forest carbon stocks in Ontario's managed forest were...

This paper aims to examine the attitudes of the consumers in Greece towards the use of biotechnology in forest plantations and their potential purchases of forest transgenic products. Three groups of factors related the consumers’ attitude on the use of biotechnology in forest plantations with the potential purchases of transgenic forest products: (a) the potential negative environmental impact...
