Changes in the chemical structure and decay resistance of heat-treated narrow-leaved ash wood

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología
We analyzed the effects of heat treatment on the chemical structure of wood from narrow-leafed Ash (Fraxinus angustifolia), a fast-growing and economically valuable species.

Effect of brown rot degradation on mass loss and compressive strength of chinese poplar (Populus simonii)

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2019
The wood of poplar species are generally perceived as susceptible to decay, however, poplar is still widely used as columns in traditional Chinese buildings. Understanding how decay affects the compressive properties of this material will help engineers

Wood under fresh water: Effect on the chemical properties and on decay resistance

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2016
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of waterlogging on the chemical properties and on decay resistance of two fast-growing eucalypt species. Samples of spotted gum and rose gum wood were placed underwater and taken out at different times: after 4, 8 ...

Acetylxylan esterase is the key to the host specialization of wood-decay fungi predicted by random forest machine-learning algorithm

open access: yesJournal of Wood Science
Wood-decay fungi produce extracellular enzymes that metabolize wood components such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Each fungus has a preference of wood species as the host, but identification of these preferences requires a huge amount of ...

DECAY RESISTANCE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF OIL HEAT TREATED ASPEN WOOD

open access: yesBioResources, 2011
The decay resistance of oil-heat treated aspen wood (Populus tremula l.) against white rot fungi (Coriolus versicolor) and brown rot fungi (Coniophora puteana) was investigated.

Effect of Fungal Lesions on the Wood Density of Silver Fir (Abies alba L.) in Ukrainian Carpathians

open access: yesForestist
The research has covered the biological wood resistance in terms of reducing its wood density of Silver fir growing in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Six Silver fir stands were placed in the State Enterprise Perechyn Forestry, in which were cut 54 model ...

The evolutionary adaptation of wood‐decay macrofungi to host gymnosperms differs from that to host angiosperms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Wood‐decay macrofungi play a vital role in forest ecosystems by promoting nutrient cycling and soil structure, and their evolution is closely related to their host plants.
