Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ten timbers from the spire scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral were dated using a combination of ring‐width dendrochronology, stable oxygen isotopic dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Seven timbers were coeval and assigned a combined empirical felling date range of 1352–1378, which was further refined to 1351–1359 (OxCal 95.4%).

Chemical characterization and extractives composition of heartwood and sapwood from Quercus faginea.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Heartwood and sapwood of Quercus faginea were evaluated in relation to summative chemical composition and non-polar and polar extracts composition, including an assessment of antioxidant properties (DPPH and FRAP). Twenty trees from two sites in Portugal

Wood quality of eucalyptus plantation in Brazil [PDF]
, 2012 The area of eucalyptus plantations in Brazil is 4,3 million ha, as a result of the fiscal incentives policies implanted in the 60's. That significant area concentrated mainly in the states of Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo and Bahia seeks to supply the demand ...

Chemical fingerprinting of wood sampled along a pith-to-bark gradient for individual comparison and provenance identification [PDF]
, 2020 Background and Objectives: The origin of traded timber is one of the main questions in the enforcement of regulations to combat the illegal timber trade. Substantial efforts are still needed to develop techniques that can determine the exact geographical

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Tropical hydroelectric reservoirs are recognized hotspots for greenhouse gas emissions, yet the role of submerged forests in these emissions remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the contribution of standing dead trees and their associated epixylic biofilms to methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Forest sustainability is regulated by the interplay between water and biochemical fluxes within the soil–tree continuum. However, capturing the daily to seasonal interplay of these ecohydrological and biological processes remains a major challenge.

Effects of Heat Treatment on Durability of Merbau Heartwood
BioResources, 2015 Merbau wood has been widely used in outdoor applications. However, it has a disadvantage in that its water-soluble extractives readily leach out and stain adjacent materials. Heat treatment is an efficient technique to solve this problem.

A study of the importance of secondary reactions in char formation and pyrolysis : a dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Process Engineering at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 Anthropogenic climate change, caused primarily by excessive emissions of carbon dioxide, has led to a renewed interest in char, the solid product of pyrolysis. When applied to soil as biochar it can both sequester carbon and improve soil function.
