Role of Leaf Litter in Above-Ground Wood Decay [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
The effects of leaf litter on moisture content and fungal decay development in above-ground wood specimens were assessed. Untreated southern pine specimens were exposed with or without leaf litter contact.

Ground Wood Fiber Length Distributions

open access: yesBioResources, 2014
This study considers ground wood fiber length distributions arising from pilot grindings. The empirical fiber length distributions appear to be independent of wood fiber length as well as feeding velocity.

Modelling in-ground wood decay using time-series retrievals from the 5th European climate reanalysis (ERA5-Land)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Remote Sensing, 2023
This article presents models to predict the time until mechanical failure of in-ground wooden test specimens resulting from fungal decay. Historical records of decay ratings were modelled by remotely sensed data from ERA5-Land.

Size, shape and flow characterization of ground wood chip and ground wood pellet particles [PDF]

open access: yesPowder Technology, 2016
Abstract Size, shape and density of biomass particles influence their transportation, fluidization, rates of drying and thermal decomposition. Pelleting wood particles increases the particle density and reduces the variability of physical properties among biomass particles. In this study, pine chips prepared for pulping and commercially produced pine

Interacting effects of insects and flooding on wood decomposition. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Saproxylic arthropods are thought to play an important role in wood decomposition but very few efforts have been made to quantify their contributions to the process and the factors controlling their activities are not well understood.

Evaluation of Heartwood Extracts Combined with Linseed Oil as Wood Preservatives in Field Tests in Southern Mississippi, USA

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Heartwood extracts of naturally durable wood species are often evaluated as alternatives to chemical wood preservatives, but field data from long-term performance testing are lacking.

Arboreal behaviour of the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus (Rodentia: Muridae): a study in the Venetian plain

open access: yesNatural History Sciences, 2023
The arboreal activity of the wood mouse is known, but mostly based on anecdotal evidence or single records. This study reports on field observations carried out systematically during an indirect survey conducted in the Venetian plain using hair tubes ...

The Grindability of Biochars from Agroforestry Biomass Prepared under Different Torrefied Conditions [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
The torrefaction experiments of four biomass including agricultural biomass (corn straw (CS) and wheat straw (WS)) and forestry biomass (polar wood (PW) and cedar wood (CW)) were carried out in a fixed bed reactor at torrefaction temperature of 200-300°C

Archaeological Wood from Medieval Monuments of Primorye in the Russian Far East

open access: yesАрхеология евразийских степей, 2023
The article considers the archaeological wood from Primorye medieval sites of the time of Bohai state (698–926) and post-Bohai period. Materials from collections of open complexes are used: Nikolayevka-II, Kraskino settlements, Konstantinovka-I ...
