The use of wood is fraught with paradox. Wood as a building material is embraced for its naturalness, while the cutting of trees is indicted as a destruction of nature. Wood is lauded for its structural properties and visual appearance, but challenged for its lack of durability and dimensional stability; all traits tied to the original tree. The controversial field of transgenics further complicates matters as scientists now work to genetically modify trees for improved yield and performance. Many environmentalists argue that the risk of infecting native tree populations is too great, while others see potential for sparing native populations by using purpose-grown alternatives. Both camps claim to be working to halt global climate change. How can we locate today's wood industry within this disparity? Dilemmas inherent to wood use are entangled with conflicting attitudes towards nature. The urban forest is uniquely poised to address this debate through an opportunity to intersect nature and industry within the public realm. Phasing phytoremediation, timber and biomass production over time, the strategy of this thesis is to co-opt a network of underutilized and contaminated parcels in Boston's developing Innovation District as a system of productive landscapes. Transgenic trees are here considered as a means of stretching a given species' function and yield, and offer new opportunities for design. Initial years of tree growth provide plots that double as public green space while improved parcels are open for future development. On one such plot, the project envisions a wooden architecture that accounts for its own material, energy, and even the soil upon which it is built. By integrating systems of production and consumption into the public life of the city, the relationship between people and natural resources can be reestablished; the paradox made public

Full textUm die Anpassungsfähigkeit von Organismen, bei sich ändernden Umweltbedingungen, sicher zu stellen, spielt die Erhaltung der Biologischen Vielfalt auf allen ökosystemaren Ebenen eine entscheidende Rolle. Eben diese Anpassungsfähigkeit kann durch waldbauliche Maßnahmen einschränkt werden, und zur Instabilität des Systems führen. Daher kommt der Untersuchung von aus der Nutzung genommenen Naturwaldzellen eine immer größere Bedeutung zu. Einerseits um die potentiell natürliche Diversität in Naturwäldern mit der in Wirtschaftswäldern zu vergleichen, andererseits um die ökologischen Zusammenhänge in einer natürlichen Waldentwicklung zu verstehen. Ziel diese Studie war es eben diese natürlichen Waldynamiken auf das Artengefüge von Spinnen (Araneae) zu untersuchen. Dabei sollte Mithilfe eines experimentellen Fangdesigns, auch der kleinräumige Einfluss von Strukturheterogenität untersucht werden.

Full textThesis investigated connections between the parameters of the forest cover, forests accessibility, recreational (2B) group forests and quality of the life. Subject of the research – Lithuanian municipalities (except the town of Neringa municipality) indicators. Aim of the research – to identify the connection between forests’ characteristics and quality of the life on the level of Lithuanian municipalities. Methodology – in the work forests of Lithuanian municipalities, quality of the life (air quality, wellness, birthrate, criminality), other potentially influencing the quality of the life indicators were assessed. For the study data from Statistics Lithuania, National Forest Service, Hygiene Institute Health Information Centre form 2008-2013 year period were used. Separately Lithuanian cities and districts indicators were analyzed and compared. Forest accessibility index for municipalities was determined using GIS technology, data processing and visualization was done using Microsoft Excel programme, STATISTICA software package and multivariate statistical method - RDA (ReDundancy analysis). Results. Forest cover has connections with wellness and air quality in cities’ municipalities. Determined link between the forest cover and carbon monoxide emissions confirms that forest cover has the positive effect on the air of urban areas, herewith on the inhabitant's health. In more forested urban municipalities inhabitants less visit clinics, less were paralytic stroke. Forests... [to full text]

Full textSkogsresurser kan utgöra en viktig del i en strategi för att begränsa koncentrationen av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären och därmed begränsa klimatförändringarna. Skog tar upp CO2 från atmosfären när den växer och kolet lagras i trädens biomassa. Trädprodukter från hållbart brukade skogar kan minska nettoutsläppen av CO2 genom att de kan ersätta fossilt bränsle och energiintensiva material. I denna avhandling studeras faktorer som påverkar energi- och kolbalanser när träprodukter ersätter alternativa produkter. Signifikanta faktorer är den energi som behövs för att framställa träprodukter jämfört med alternativa produkter, utsläpp av CO2 från industriella processer som vid cementproduktion, ersättning av fossilt bränsle med trärester samt lagring av kol i skog och träprodukter. En metodik har utvecklats för att studera dessa faktorer genom att integrera ämneskunskaper från byggkonstruktion, energi, industri och det skogliga området. Den bygger på ett livscykelperspektiv och innefattar hela material- och produktkedjor från naturresurs till avfall eller återanvändning av material eller produkter. De metodikfrågor som varit i fokus är den funktionella enheten för jämförelser, det fossila referenssystemet, utnyttjande av skogmark vid produktion av träprodukter samt produktens olika faser under en livscykel. Metodiken har sedan använts för att jämföra ett svenskt och ett finskt flervåningshus i trä med två funktionellt likvärdiga hus med betongstomme. Resultaten visade att det behövs mindre primärenergi för att tillverka trähuset än betonghuset. Energin som kan utvinnas från biprodukter under en träbyggnads livscykel – från skogsskötsel, förädling, konstruktion och rivning – är större än den energi som krävs för att tillverka byggnadsmaterialet i byggnaden. Nettoutsläppen av CO2 från både fossil primärenergi och cementkalcinering är också väsentligt lägre för trähuset, men användningen av biprodukter från skogsavverkning, träförädlingskedjan och rivningsvirke för att ersätta fossilt bränsle har störst påverkan på kolbalansen. För att fullt ut tillgodogöra sig biprodukters potentiella fördelar krävs att de olika sektorerna för skogsbruk, industri, konstruktion, energi och avfallshantering integreras och optimeras med avseende på energi- och materialflöden. Olika skogsskötselmetoder har analyserats för att kvantifiera de flöden och den lagring av kol som sker i biomassa, mark och träprodukter. Intensifierat skogsbruk gav mindre utsläpp av CO2 per ha skogsmark, eftersom potentialen ökade för att ersätta fossila bränslen och energiintensiva material. Denna substitutionseffekt kompenserade mer än väl för den ökning i energianvändning och de utsläpp av CO2 som den intensivare skogsskötseln medförde, inklusive för den minskning av lagrat kol i marken som uttaget av skogsrester medförde. Lagring av kol i skogar och träprodukter kan vara intressant i ett kort tidsperspektiv, men under en byggnads livscykel och ett skogsbestånds rotationsperiod har den liten betydelse. I längden uppnås den största minskningen av CO2-utsläpp genom en aktiv och hållbar skogsskötsel med uttag av skogsresurser för användning till träprodukter och energi. I denna avhandling studerades också hur användningen av träprodukter påverkas av energi- och miljöskatter. En analys av energi- och skattekostnadernas effekt på konkurrenskraften för trämaterial visade att energikostnaden är lägre för trämaterial än för andra vanliga byggmaterial. Energi- och koldioxidskatter påverkar träprodukter i mindre utsträckning än produkter i andra material. De ekonomiska fördelarna av att använda biomassa som ersättning för fossila bränslen ökar också med höjda skatter. Konkurrensfördelarna för träkonstruktioner ökar därför generellt i takt med högre skatt på fossila bränslen och CO2-utsläpp. En analys av förädlingsvärdet hos skogsprodukter visade på en större värdeökning vid produktion av byggnadsmaterial än för andra biomassebaserade produkter. Samproduktion av flera träprodukter ökade det totala värdet hos biomassan per skogsareal. Resultaten visade att produktion av träbaserade byggnadsmaterial får ekonomiska fördelar av klimatpolitiska åtgärder och att sådan produktion har ett högt förädlingsvärde för industrierna i träbranschen.
