Phloem water isotopically different to xylem water: Potential causes and implications for ecohydrological tracing
Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin
The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in xylem water are often used to investigate tree water sources. But this traditional approach does not acknowledge the contribution of water stored in the phloem to transpiration and how this may affect xylem wat ...
WILEY2022A 3D printed bio-composite removable connection system for bamboo spatial structures
Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Romain Pascal T van Wassenhove
A 3D printed bio-composite removable connection system for bamboo space structures is introduced in this paper. The system consists of a removable clipping connection for raw bamboo structures, adapted to the European market. The use of parametric design a ...
