Tannin Extracts as a Preservative for Pine Thermo-mechanically Densified Wood

BioResources, 2022
Thermo-mechanical densification modifies wood to produce a more dense and resistant lignocellulosic material and may degrade extractives that contribute to the increased susceptibility of wood to attack by xylophagous organisms.

Biological colonization patterns on the ruins of Angkor temples (Cambodia) in the biodeterioration vs bioprotection debate

, 2014
The biological colonization present on the temples of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor is wide and relevant, but a debate on its biodeteriorative and bioprotective effects is now developing. We investigated the biological patterns observed on two
