An evaluation of three wood shred blends for post-fire erosion control using indoor simulated rain events on small plots
This study served as a preliminary step to identify the optimal wood shreds blend for further testing in a larger field experiment at the hillslope scale. The goals of this study were to (1) determine differences in the material size distribution
of three wood shred blends and the impact of those differences on the required mass application rates to achieve a desired ground cover, (2) determine the statistical significance of each wood shred blend in reducing runoff, sediment concentration, and rill
formation from a burned soil, and (3) determine which wood shred blend best reduces runoff and sediment concentration.

This paper presents the results of radiacarbon dating of fossil wood stem remains of larch (Larix decidua) found 1 m below the surface at the base of the front of the Piancabella rock glacier in September 2005 within the framework

The aim of this paper is to increase the understanding on root biomechanical properties of shrubs species and their contribution to soil reinforcement. The considered shrubs grew up in wood containers, exposed to natural conditions in a village near
A unique artefact, the fragment of a bow made of yew wood, indicating the hunting activity of prehistoric man, was found within the sediments of the landslide peat bog (at the depth of 330 cm) formed on the Mt. Kamiennik (Polish Flysch Carpathians
