An Implementation Strategy for VOC Emissions Eco-Labeling in Wood Products for the Chilean Market with International Projection

Revista: SustainabilityAutores: Cereceda, G.; Vidal, M.; Núñez, M.; Fuentealba, C.Fecha: 2025 Abstract This study examines the global wood products market to propose an eco-label for the Chilean sector with an international orientation. A national prior certification framework and governance structure were established, aligned with international regulations to ensure compliance with target market standards. By doing

Experimental Performance of Timber–Concrete Slab-to-Concrete Wall Connections Under Gravitational and Lateral In-Plane Loading

Revista: BuildingsAutores: Maldonado, V.; Santa-María, H.; Guindos, P.Fecha: 2025 Abstract In this research, the lateral and gravitational behaviors of four timber–concrete composite (TCC) slab-to-wall connections were tested to study their lateral and gravitational behaviors. Results showed that the lateral behavior of the connections was mainly controlled by the concrete slab, since the timber sections and

Identifying the Impact of Leaf-Miner Complex Insects on Nothofagus obliqua Forests by Assessing Changes in Land Surface Phenology

Revista: Remote SensingAutores: Vergara, B.; Le Feuvre, R.; Torres, P.; Alzamora, R.; Moraga, P.Fecha: 2025 Abstract Nothofagus obliqua forests in south-central Chile are increasingly threatened by outbreaks of a native leaf-miner complex, dominated by the moth Heterobathmia pseuderiocrania. Despite the high ecological and economic value of these forests, landscape-scale monitoring of forest–insect interactions remains limited,

Beyond the opening factor: Geometry-driven variations in fire-induced flow fields

Revista: Applications in Energy and Combustion ScienceAutores: Calderón, I.; Majdalani, A.; Arnold, L.; Jahn, W.Fecha: 2025 Abstract This study investigates the flow field development in compartment fires through experimental validation and computational analysis. Using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), numerical models of a nearly cubic compartment were validated against experimental data under varying ventilation conditions

Preliminary Study of Reinforced Glulam Beams with a High-Performance Composite Made of Polyvinyl Alcohol, Carbon Fiber, and Nanomaterials

Revista: PolymersAutores: Núñez, M.; Vidal, M.; Opazo, C.; Moya, B.; Fuentealba, C.Fecha: 2025 Abstract Engineered wood products manufactured with the durability and density of a Pinus radiata D. Don species usually do not achieve the mechanical properties of a structural material for construction; hence, the reinforcement of this kind of product is recommended, but the

Early stem and form pruning effects on short-term tree growth and stem quality in hardwood plantations: differing results in Nothofagus dombeyi and Nothofagus alpina in south-central Chile

Revista: Frontiers in Forests and Global ChangeAutores: Soto, D.; Donoso, P.; Navarro, C.; Fernández, M.P.Fecha: 2025 Abstract Nothofagus species dominate the temperate forests of South America. Among them, Nothofagus dombeyi and Nothofagus alpina are long-lived, fast-growing pioneer trees with high-quality timber, which makes them attractive for plantation forestry. Unlike conifers, however, these species—particularly N. dombeyi—often

Understory plant diversity in Pinus radiata plantations of Chile: The role of stand structural attributes

Revista: Forest Ecology and ManagementAutores: Gertner, N.; Vargas, R.; Salas, C.; Fuentes, A.; Elissetche, J.P.; Rubilar, R.Fecha: 2025 Abstract In temperate regions, industrial forestry plantations are increasingly evaluated for their potential to support multifunctional forest systems and sustain ecosystem services, including native plant biodiversity. However significant gaps remain in understanding the environmental and structural drivers
