GO WOODEX, País Vasco: Resultados de ensayos de envejecimiento artificial de madera de Pinus radiata
El factor diferencial para el uso de la madera en este tipo de productos resulta ser la variabilidad dimensional de la madera, debido a su capacidad de absorber agua en condiciones húmedas. Los ciclos de absorción y secado de agua hacen que en la madera aparezcan fendas, torceduras, acebolladuras, etc. que hacen que el producto se transforme en su apariencia, sin que ello implique necesariamente un deterioro del material. Debido al tipo de mercado al que se quiere orientar el uso de la madera, este es el factor que se estudia en este proyecto, de cara a poder tomar una decisión adecuada a la hora de optar por una solución industrializada. Por el contrario, en el ensayo de envejecimiento artificial, la madera de Pino Radiata se ha comportado mejor, reteniendo el recubrimiento aplicado de manera más eficaz.

A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System
Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
Environmental monitoring within greenhouse crops using wireless sensors
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
