A data set was constructed consisting of 3021 mass spectra randomly selected from all available families in the ForeST© (Forensic Spectra of Trees) database of mass spectra for wood analyzed by Direct Analysis in Real Time ionization coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (DART-TOFMS). Clear and reproducible differences were observed between the lignin peaks for hardwood angiosperms and coniferous gymnosperms, with DART-TOFMS spectra of angiosperms showing significantly higher relative abundances for peaks associated with syringyl subunits. Application of the method to processed wood samples demonstrated that these differences can be used to provide support for enforcing trade laws by accurately identifying the source of finished wood products from hardwood angiosperms and coniferous gymnosperms.

Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, 80526, USA.
Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora capsici is a serious disease affecting a wide range of plants. Biochar as a soil amendment could partially replace peat moss and has the potential to suppress plant diseases, but its effects on controlling phytophthora blight of container-grown peppers have less been explored, especially in combination of biological control using Trichoderma. In vitro (petri dish) and in vivo (greenhouse) studies were conducted to test sugarcane bagasse biochar (SBB) and mixed hardwood biochar (HB) controlling effects on pepper phytophthora blight disease with and without Trichoderma.

In recent years, with the continuous deepening of the theory of Wu Yun Liu Qi, the application of Zitan in Shenping Decoction and Shengming Decoction has gradually become widespread. Because Zitan is an imported herbal medicine, it is not commonly used in modern medicine and known as an unusual medicinal material. The unclear original plants may affect the clinical application of this medicine.

Elm () species are important components of forest resources with significant ecological and economic value. As tall hardwood trees that are drought-resistant, poor-soil-tolerant, and highly adaptable, species are an excellent choice for ecologically protected forests and urban landscaping. Additionally, the bioactive substances identified in the fruits, leaves, bark, and roots of have potential applications in the food and medical fields and as raw materials in industrial and cosmetic applications.

The extraordinary preservation of Cueva de Los Murciélagos (Albuñol, Spain) provides a unique opportunity to identify the materials and the techniques involved in archery during the Early Neolithic period. Arrows with preserved feathers, tied fibres, adhesive substance, and two probable bowstrings have been studied trough an unprecedented multi-proxy investigation, including microscopy and biomolecular methods, to unravel archery techniques. The study has identified the oldest known sinew bowstrings, the first evidence for the use of olive tree (Olea europaea) and reed (Phragmites sp.

The study aimed to explore suitable substrates comprising locally available hardwood sawdusts for the cultivation of Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) in Lebanon. Sawdusts of oak (OS), maple (MAP), and eucalyptus (EUC) were used alone or in combination, supplemented equally by wheat bran (WB). Results showed that complete mycelia run, fruiting, and harvest dates were the minimum in OS-WB: 800-200 by 72.
