Forests play a fundamental role in the global carbon cycle and can be managed to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and conserve or sequester carbon. Global policy and environmental changes can affect regional consumption of forest products, as well as inter-regional trade of forest goods and services. This study analyzes global and regional change impacts on the production, consumption and trade of forest products in two Nordic countries, Finland and Sweden. Annual data on removal and trade (1964–2012) for roundwood and sawnwood is used to identify structural breaks based on Chow tests. According to the analysis, the time period is divided into two periods: t1 (1964–1980) and t2 (1981–2012). In the first period, breaks occurred in 1975 and 1976 in the Finnish model and no break is found in the Swedish model. In the second period, we identify breaks in 1991 and 1992 for the Finnish model and in 2004, 2005 and 2006 for the Swedish model. Although our findings have broad empirical support, we do not identify any specific incident as a direct cause of the changes in the consumption and trade patterns of the two types of wood in these countries. The models and analysis presented here can serve as methodological tools for policymakers to better understand the effects of structural changes in the production of forest goods and services in the Nordic region and globally. 相似文献

In this research, hybrid composite materials were prepared from combination of oil palm Empty fruit bunches (EFB) fibre and
jute fibre as reinforcement, epoxy as polymer matrix. This study intended to investigate the effect of jute fiber hybridization
and different layering pattern on the physical properties of oil palm EFB-Epoxy composites. Water absorption and thickness
swelling test reveal that hybrid composite shows a moderate water absorption which is 11.20% for hybrid EFB/Jute/EFB composite
and 6.08% for hybrid Jute/EFB/Jute composite. The thickness swelling and water absorption of the hybrid composites slightly
increased as the layering pattern of hybrid composites changed. Hybrid composites are more water resistance and dimensional
stable compare to the pure EFB composites. This is attributed to the more hydrophilic nature of EFB composites. Hybridization
of oil palm EFB composites with jute fibres can improve the dimensional stability and density of pure EFB and Jute fibre reinforced
composites has higher density of 1.2 g/cm3 compared to all other composites. 相似文献

The variation of mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural properties of randomly oriented unsaturated polyester
based sisal/carbon fibre reinforced hybrid composites with different fibre weight ratios have been studied. The chemical resistance
test of these hybrid composites to various solvents, acids and alkalies were studied. The effect of NaOH treatment of sisal
fibres on the tensile, flexural and chemical resistance properties of these sisal/carbon hybrid composites has also been studied.
The hybrid composites showed an increase in tensile and flexural properties with increase in the carbon fibre loading. The
tensile properties and flexural properties of these hybrid composites have been found to be higher than that of the matrix.
Significant improvement in tensile properties and flexural properties of the sisal/carbon hybrid composites has been observed
by alkali treatment. The chemical resistance test results showed that these untreated and alkali treated hybrid composites
are résistance to all chemicals except carbon tetra chloride. Hand lay-up technique was used for making the composites and
tests are carried out by using ASTM methods. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to develop a theoretical model by which to demonstrate how taxes and subsidies work as external factors to substitute fossil fuel by a forest-based biofuel. For biofuels, this study predominantly considers solid-form biomass that generates electricity; for fossil fuels, it considers coal. The model results explicated with three states by using various numeric values taken from the literature. Three states are as follows: a situation without a tax and subsidy, a situation with a biofuel subsidy, and a situation with a biofuel subsidy and a fossil fuel tax. The results of the first state exemplify current fuel market situation; those of the second indicate that the aggregate demand for biofuel has shifted upwards by around 15 % and that substitution has increased by around 18 % due to biofuel subsidies being offered. Under the third state, aggregate biofuel demand has shifted upwards by around 19 %, reduced the demand for fossil fuels by around 13 %, and increased substitution by around 31 %. This state relates to a greater sense of social welfare than other two states. It is conceivable that the joint application of taxes and subsidies will succour biofuel to supplant fossil fuel in the near future. 相似文献

In this study, effect of fibre surface treatment on tensile, flexural and chemical resistance properties were studied for
sisal fibre reinforced composites. Natural ligno cellulosic sisal fibre reinforced composites were prepared by different surface
treatments by hand lay-up method. Fibre surface treatments were carried out to produce good interface between the fibre and
the matrix to improve the mechanical properties. Fibre surface treatments were done by boiled the sisal fibres in different
% of NaOH and treated the fibres in different % of NaOH, treated in acetic acid and methanol. Unsaturated polyester resin
was used as the matrix for preparing the composites. For comparison, these properties for untreated sisal fibre reinforced
composites were also studied. From the results it was observed that 18% aqueous NaOH boiled sisal fibre reinforced composites
have higher tensile, flexural properties than other composites. Untreated sisal fibre composites show lower properties than
treated composites. Chemical resistance properties indicate that all sisal fibre reinforced composites are resistance to all
chemicals except carbon tetra chloride. The tests are carried out as per the ASTM standards. 相似文献
