“…Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used for the observation of the pyrolysis kinetics characteristics of high density polyethylene (HDPE)-based composites enhanced by a variety of basalt fibers (BFs) and wood flour (WF). The improved Coats-Redfern (C-R), Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (F-W-O), Friedman, and Kissinger methods were utilized to ascertain the specific apparent activation energy (E(a)) of each component and composite material. …”

“…Since veteran trees are ‘islands’ of high biodiversity, they provide a unique system in which to study the relationship between biodiversity and decomposition of wood. We tested this relationship with a balanced experiential design, where we quantified the taxonomic and functional diversity of beetles directly involved in the process of decomposing wood, and measured the decomposition of experimentally added bundles of small diameter wood around 20 veteran trees and 20 nearby young trees in southern Norway. …”
