Role of Leaf Litter in Above-Ground Wood Decay [PDF]
Microorganisms, 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
BioResources, 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.

Necromass in forests of Madre de Dios, Peru: a comparison between terra firme and lowland forests [PDF]
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2011 Stocks of dead wood or necromass represent an important portion of biomass and nutrients in tropical forests. The objectives of this study were: 1) to evaluate and compare the necromass of “terra firme” and lowlands forests, (2) to study the relationship

Repeated measures of decaying wood reveal the success and influence of fungal wood endophytes [PDF]
mSystemsPredicting wood decomposition is challenging due to complex successional dynamics among decomposers that colonize and defend wood territory. This starts with saprotrophic fungi that reside latently in healthy wood until trees senesce, but these ...

European 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.

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

Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America [PDF]
, 2008 : The dynamics of tropical forest woody plants was studied at the Nouragues Field Station, central French Guiana. Stem density, basal area, above-ground biomass and above-ground net primary productivity, including the contribution of litterfall, were ...

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