- Abstract:
- ... Interest in producing higher value products from the 13,000,000 ha of planted Eucalyptus species has developed due to the declining availability of hardwood products from native forests and an oversupply of hardwood fibre. We review the biological and silvicultural basis for producing clear wood from planted eucalypts. The canopy dynamics of eucalypts influences both the quantity and quality of cl ...

- Abstract:
- ... Quantitative information on stem decay in eucalypt plantations grown for solid wood products, with consideration of the effect of site, pruning, and spread of decay with time, is required for the prediction of harvest yield and quality. A trial at three Eucalyptus nitens (Dean & Maiden) Maiden plantations in Tasmania revealed that the effect of time on the number and size of decay columns was subs ...

- Abstract:
- ... The decay of coarse woody debris is a key component in the formation of forest soil and in the biogeochemical cycles of Ca and Mg. We tracked changes in density and concentration of Ca and Mg in sapwood of red maple (Acer rubrum L.), red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.), paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.), and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.) in Maine and New Hampshire. We repeatedly s ...

- Abstract:
- ... Heterobasidion annosum (FR.) BREF. sensu lato causes severe economic damage in stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst). The primary damage is the deterioration of timber by decay. Secondary damage can be attributed to higher risks of windthrow and stem breakage, growth reduction of infected trees as well as higher machining and handling costs for decayed stems during grading and processin ...

- Abstract:

Karst.), whereas wood properties or resistance to pathogens have been taken as secondary traits. We aimed to investigate, in laboratory conditions, the rate of wood decay caused by Heterobasidion parviporum (Fr.) Niemela & Korhonen (strains 5 and 7) in 20 Norway spruce clones. We also studied if, ...

The ability to assess wood quality using longitudinal compression strength (LCS) of plugs removed from along the length of a tree stem was assessed in ponderosa pine damaged to varying degrees 4 years earlier in a prescribed burn. LCS has been used elsewhere to estimate residual strength of utility poles and might be a simple method for assessing wood quality in standing trees. The degree of stem ...

Four size classes (8-12, 12.1-16, 16.1-20, and 20.1+ in. dbh) of fire-killed western larch (Larix occidentalis) were monitored and dissected over a 5-year period to assess causes and rates of postfire wood changes. Defect and merchantable volume were assessed by a certified scaler during the first 3 years. A greater proportion of wood volume in small trees was affected by decay, wood borers, and c ...

In addition, this process increases the dimensional stability of the wood matrix and results in attractive dark colour. On the other hand, it can deteriorate the mechanical strength and the flexibility of wood. For this reason, heat treatment parameters (such as maximum temperature, heating ...

- Abstract:

In (sub) tropical forest, termites are major players in wood decomposition, but their role relative to that of microbial decomposers and wood traits of different tree species is poorly understood. The current literature also has strong bias towards dicot tree decomposition, whi ...

To reveal these effects, we conducted a nine-month ...
