Philipp is working at the Thünen Institute, where he has been doing research on wood-plastic composites. He has been very active in publishing, with his latest paper in press at the moment: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921344916302993

You can read more about Philipp and his work from the "In the Spotlight" interview published earlier on in the project.

Congratulations, Philipp!

Francesca's article "Effects of partial cutting on logging productivity, economic returns and dead wood in boreal pine forest" was published in Forest Ecology and Management in April this year (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2016.01.033).

The article shows that revenues declined as tree retention increased, partly due to higher harvesting costs. Also, less dead wood was destroyed by logging machines at high than at low retention levels, and the diversity of dead wood was greater at high than at low retention levels.

Please visit the CASTLE Publications page to see all the publications by our ESRs.

Pau's articles, co-authored by his supervisors Hubert Jochheim from ZALF and Bart Muys from KU Leuven, are available online:

• Modelling carbon stocks and fluxes in the wood product sector: a comparative review
• The effect of increasing lifespan and recycling rate on carbon storage in wood products from theoretical model to application for the European wood sector
