1. Processing and End-Uses of Wood Affected by Forest Fires, Eastern Spruce Budworm and Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks.
PMID:日期:2026-05-22This review provides an overview of current forest fires and insect outbreaks in North America, examining how these disturbances affect wood quality over time. It highlights two of the most destructive insect pests: the eastern spruce budworm (SBW) and the mountain pine beetle (MPB). The article also examines the challenges of processing disturbance-affected wood and explores its potential uses in lumber, engineered wood products, and wood-based panels. Forest fires have intensified and become more frequent in recent years, especially in temperate and boreal forests. Unprecedented SBW outbreaks have also been reported in Eastern Canada. While MPB outbreaks have decreased since 2019, they remain cyclical, indicating the possibility of future resurgences. From 2023 to 2025, these disturbances affected over 60 million hectares in Canada, resulting in significant tree damage and mortality. Although disturbance-affected wood can still be used for lumber and high-value products, its quality deteriorates over time while it remains in the forest, particularly after a fire. Manufacturing products from such wood is difficult due to its low moisture content, changed properties, and high defect rate. Disturbance-affected wood typically has lower moisture content, increased permeability, greater brittleness, and a higher incidence of defects, such as insect holes, blue stain, decay, and checks, compared to wood from sound trees. These characteristics can negatively impact lumber recovery and grading and reduce its suitability for secondary manufacturing of wood products like laminated veneer lumber, plywood, or oriented strand board. Nonetheless, this type of wood can be transformed into value-added products such as particleboard, fiberboard, or cross-laminated timber, especially when used in limited proportions or in hybrid compositions. Further research is needed to understand how the properties of disturbance-affected wood change over time and how these changes affect the production of various products. Furthermore, optimizing log sorting, conversion processes, and manufacturing techniques to account for the unique characteristics of disturbance-affected wood is important to ensure the quality and performance of the final products.

2. A Review of Dendrochronology and Remote Sensing Integration for Forest Growth and Disturbance Monitoring.
2. 树木年轮学与遥感集成在森林生长与干扰监测中的研究综述PMID:日期:2025-11-28Understanding forest growth and its response to climate variability and disturbance is critical for monitoring carbon dynamics and managing forest ecosystems under global change. Tree-ring width (TRW) data from dendrochronology and vegetation indices (VIs) derived from remote sensing offer complementary perspectives on forest growth-one reflecting carbon accumulation in wood, the other photosynthetic activity by foliage and changes in canopy cover. Their complementary spatial and temporal scales also enable upscaling measurements through time and space. The review synthesizes 78 multidisciplinary studies that integrate these two disciplines to evaluate their combined potential in assessing forest growth. The review revealed growing interest in combining dendrochronology and remote sensing, with diverse applications and methodological approaches, which we have grouped in three dominant areas of research: (1) examining relationships between TRW, VIs, and climate; (2) assessing long-term growth and productivity trends; and (3) evaluating responses to disturbance and extreme climatic events. We showcase a subset of relevant studies and highlight some key results, with many reporting strong interannual TRW-VIs positive relationships during growing season months. Research on growth trends shows more mixed outcomes, as the growth recorded by TRW and VIs is often decoupled over longer timescales. In disturbance-related studies, TRW generally reflects stronger and more prolonged growth reductions than VIs, suggesting it is more sensitive to stress-induced source and sink limitations. Despite methodological advances, challenges remain, including scale mismatches between ground and satellite data, limited use of high-resolution imagery, and underrepresentation of ecological metadata. Integrating dendrochronology and remote sensing enhances the spatial and temporal scope of forest growth monitoring. In this review, we summarize interdisciplinary studies, examining their methodological approaches, including sampling strategies, growth proxies, and statistical analyses. We then outline persistent challenges, including spatial biases in tree-ring datasets, scale mismatches between ground plots and satellite data, and the physiological distinctions underlying foliage activity and radial growth. Ultimately, we identify key opportunities for further development in this interdisciplinary field, such as expanding ecological metadata collection, adopting higher resolution satellite imagery, and improving our understanding of the complex physiological processes underlying forest growth.

3. Artificial Intelligence and Terrestrial Point Clouds for Forest Monitoring.
PMID:日期:2024-12-27This paper provides an overview of integrating artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning (DL), with ground-based LiDAR point clouds for forest monitoring. It identifies trends, highlights advancements, and discusses future directions for AI-supported forest monitoring. Recent studies indicate that DL models significantly outperform traditional machine learning methods in forest inventory tasks using terrestrial LiDAR data. Key advancements have been made in areas such as semantic segmentation, which involves labeling points corresponding to different vegetation structures (e.g., leaves, branches, stems), individual tree segmentation, and species classification. Main challenges include a lack of standardized evaluation metrics, limited code and data sharing, and reproducibility issues. A critical issue is the need for extensive reference data, which hinders the development and evaluation of robust AI models. Solutions such as the creation of large-scale benchmark datasets and the use of synthetic data generation are proposed to address these challenges. Promising AI paradigms like Graph Neural Networks, semi-supervised learning, self-supervised learning, and generative modeling have shown potential but are not yet fully explored in forestry applications. The review underscores the transformative role of AI, particularly DL, in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of forest monitoring using ground-based 3D point clouds. To advance the field, there is a critical need for comprehensive benchmark datasets, open-access policies for data and code, and the exploration of novel DL architectures and learning paradigms. These steps are essential for improving research reproducibility, facilitating comparative studies, and unlocking new insights into forest management and conservation.

4. From Industry 5.0 to Forestry 5.0: Bridging the gap with Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.
PMID:日期:2024-09-11Recent technological innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have successfully revolutionized many industrial processes, enhancing productivity and sustainability, under the paradigm of Industry 5.0. It offers opportunities for the forestry sector such as predictive analytics, automation, and precision management, which could transform traditional forest operations into smart, effective, and sustainable practices. The paper sets forth to outline the evolution from Industry 5.0 and its promising transition into Forestry 5.0. The purpose is to elucidate the status of these developments, identify enabling technologies, particularly AI, and uncover the challenges hindering the efficient adoption of these techniques in forestry by presenting a framework. However, the gap between potential and practical implementation is primarily due to logistical, infrastructural, and environmental challenges unique to the forestry sector. The solution lies in Human-Centered AI, which, unlike the Industry 4.0 paradigm, aims to integrate humans into the loop rather than replace them, thereby fostering safe, secure, and trustworthy Human-AI interactions. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for Human-Centered AI development for the successful transition to Forestry 5.0 - where the goal is to support the human workers rather than substituting them. A multidisciplinary approach involving technologists, ecologists, policymakers, and forestry practitioners is essential to navigate these challenges, leading to a sustainable and technologically advanced future for the forestry sector. In this transformation, our focus remains on ensuring a balance between increased productivity, nature conservation and social licence, worker safety and satisfaction.

5. Sustainability, Circularity, and Innovation in Wood-based Panel Manufacturing in the 2020s: Opportunities and Challenges.
5. 2020年代木质人造板制造中的可持续性、循环性与创新：机遇与挑战PMID:日期:2024-08-17This review explores the opportunities and challenges associated with using unconventional and underutilized wood sources, such as fast-growing species, logging residues, fire-damaged wood, and post-consumer wood, to manufacture wood-based composite panels (WBCPs), particularly particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and oriented strand board. This paper also discusses recent advancements in lightweight and multifunctional panels, with new features such as fire resistance, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, and antibacterial laminates. Climate change, wildfires, and competition from the energy sector threaten current sources of fiber supply for WBCP manufacturing in some regions. Logging residues are abundant but underutilized in some areas, and the abundance of fire-damaged wood is expected to increase in the coming years due to climate change. These raw materials' effects on panel properties and technological limitations are discussed. Recycled wood is increasingly used for non-structural panels, but challenges remain when it comes to recycling panels, particularly post-consumer MDF. Conventional and emerging materials used in lightweight and multifunctional panels are also presented. Natural substances like cellulose, nanocellulose, chitosan, lignin, protein, and phytic acid are promising alternatives to conventional fire retardants. Innovative products such as MDF that contains carbon-based conductive fibers and antimicrobial laminates that use green-synthesized metal compounds are also reported. This review shows that the WBCP industry can improve its sustainability by optimizing and diversifying wood sources, better managing and recycling post-consumer panels, and using more environmentally friendly materials. The hazardous chemicals in adhesives, fire retardants, and coatings are the main obstacles to recycling panels and creating a more circular economy within the WBCP industry.

6. Recent Advances in Bio-Based Adhesives and Formaldehyde-Free Technologies for Wood-Based Panel Manufacturing.
6. 生物基胶粘剂与无甲醛技术在人造板制造中的最新进展PMID:日期:2024-07-30Conventional formaldehyde-based adhesives for wood-based composite panels are subject to significant concerns due to their formaldehyde emissions. Over the past decade, the wood adhesive industry has undergone a considerable transformation that is characterized by a major push in bio-adhesive development. Various bio-based materials have been explored to create alternatives to conventional formaldehyde-based adhesives. Moreover, growing interest in circularity has led to increasingly exploiting industrial coproducts and by-products to find innovative solutions. Industrial production generates many coproducts that can serve as renewable resources to produce eco-friendly materials. These coproducts offer alternative supply sources for material production without encroaching on food production. Many bio-based compounds or coproducts, such as saccharides, proteins, tannins, and lignocellulosic biomass, can also be used to develop bio-based adhesives. As part of ongoing efforts to reduce formaldehyde emissions, new hardeners and crosslinkers are being developed to replace formaldehyde and bio-scavengers. Other alternatives, such as binderless panels, are also emerging. This review focuses on sources of bio-based material derived from by-products of various industries, which have many advantages and disadvantages when incorporated into adhesives. Modification methods to enhance their properties and performance in wood-based panels are also discussed. Additionally, alternatives for developing low-emission or formaldehyde-free adhesives are addressed, including hardeners, bio-scavengers, and binderless options. Finally, the environmental impact of bio-based adhesives compared to that of synthetic alternatives is detailed.

7. Quantifying the Effect Size of Management Actions on Aboveground Carbon Stocks in Forest Plantations.
7. 量化管理措施对人工林地上碳储量的效应大小PMID:日期:2023-04-11Improved forest management is a promising avenue for climate change mitigation. However, we lack synthetic understanding of how different management actions impact aboveground carbon stocks, particularly at scales relevant for designing and implementing forest-based climate solutions. Here, we quantitatively assess and review the impacts of three common practices-application of inorganic NPK fertilizer, interplanting with N-fixing species, and thinning-on aboveground carbon stocks in plantation forests. Site-level empirical studies show both positive and negative effects of inorganic fertilization, interplanting, and thinning on aboveground carbon stocks in plantation forests. Recent findings and the results of our analysis suggest that these effects are heavily moderated by factors such as species selection, precipitation, time since practice, soil moisture regime, and previous land use. Interplanting of N-fixing crops initially has no effect on carbon storage in main tree crops, but the effect becomes positive in older stands. Conversely, the application of NPK fertilizers increases aboveground carbon stocks, though the effect lessens with time. Moreover, increases in aboveground carbon stocks may be partially or completely offset by emissions from the application of inorganic fertilizer. Thinning results in a strong reduction of aboveground carbon stocks, though the effect lessens with time. Management practices tend to have strong directional effects on aboveground carbon stocks in plantation forests but are moderated by site-specific management, climatic, and edaphic factors. The effect sizes quantified in our meta-analysis can serve as benchmarks for the design and scoping of improved forest management projects as forest-based climate solutions. Overall, management actions can enhance the climate mitigation potential of plantation forests, if performed with sufficient attention to the nuances of local conditions.

8. Citizen Science and Monitoring Forest Pests: a Beneficial Alliance?
8. 公民科学与森林有害生物监测：一种有益的结合？PMID:日期:2022-11-25One of the major threats to tree health, and hence the resilience of forests and their provision of ecosystem services, is new and emerging pests. Therefore, forest health monitoring is of major importance to detect invasive, emerging and native pest outbreaks. This is usually done by foresters and forest health experts, but can also be complemented by citizen scientists. Here, we review the use of citizen science for detection and monitoring, as well as for hypothesis-driven research and evaluation of control measures as part of forest pest surveillance and research. We then examine its limitations and opportunities and make recommendations on the use of citizen science for forest pest monitoring. The main opportunities of citizen scientists for forest health are early warning, early detection of new pests, monitoring of impact of outbreaks and scientific research. Each domain has its own limitations, opportunities and recommendations to follow, as well as their own public engagement strategies. The development of new technologies provides many opportunities to involve citizen scientists in forest pest monitoring. To enhance the benefits of citizen scientists' inclusion in monitoring, it is important that they are involved in the cocreation of activities. Future monitoring and research may benefit from tailor-made citizen science projects to facilitate successful monitoring by citizen scientists and expand their practice to countries where the forest health sector is less developed. In this sense, citizen scientists can help understand and detect outbreaks of new pests and avoid problems in the future.

9. Centering Indigenous Voices: The Role of Fire in the Boreal Forest of North America.
9. 以原住民声音为中心：火在北美北方森林中的作用PMID:日期:2022-07-27Indigenous perspectives have often been overlooked in fire management in North America. With a focus on the boreal region of North America, this paper provides a review of the existing literature documenting Indigenous voices and the historical relationship of Indigenous peoples in northern North America to fire and landscapes that burn. Early research on the topic explored how Indigenous people used fire in the boreal forest, with most research coming out of case studies in northern Alberta. Emerging research in the last two decades has broadened the geographic focus to include case studies in Alaska, Ontario, Labrador, and other regions in North America. This broadening of focus has shown that the diversity of Indigenous peoples in North America is reflected in a diversity of relationships to fire and landscapes that burn. Of note is an emerging interest in Indigenous fire knowledge in the wake of settler colonialism. Indigenous peoples in the boreal forest have applied fire on their landscapes to fulfill numerous objectives for thousands of years. More than a tool, Indigenous peoples in the boreal view fire as an agent, capable of movement, destruction and creation, acting on the landscape to create order, within a living, connected environment. Unfortunately, restrictions on the application of Indigenous fire knowledge and practice initiated during early colonial times remains a contemporary challenge as well.

10. The Vision of Managing for Pest-Resistant Landscapes: Realistic or Utopic?
PMID:日期:2021-04-16Forest managers have long suggested that forests can be made more resilient to insect pests by reducing the abundance of hosts, yet this has rarely been done. The goal of our paper is to review whether recent scientific evidence supports forest manipulation to decrease vulnerability. To achieve this goal, we first ask if outbreaks of forest insect pests have been more severe in recent decades. Next, we assess the relative importance of climate change and forest management-induced changes in forest composition/structure in driving these changes in severity. Forest structure and composition continue to be implicated in pest outbreak severity. Mechanisms, however, remain elusive. Recent research elucidates how forest compositional and structural diversity at neighbourhood, stand, and landscape scales can increase forest resistance to outbreaks. Many recent outbreaks of herbivorous forest insects have been unprecedented in terms of duration and spatial extent. Climate change may be a contributing factor, but forest structure and composition have been clearly identified as contributing to these unprecedented outbreaks. Current research supports using silviculture to create forest landscapes. However, the precise mechanisms by which silviculture can increase resistance remains uncertain. Further, humans tend to more often create forests due to political, economic, and human resistance to change and a short-sighted risk management perspective that focuses on reactive rather than proactive responses to insect outbreak threats. Future research efforts need to focus on social, political, cultural, and educational mechanisms to motivate implementation of proven ecological solutions if pest-resistant forests are to be favoured by management.
