RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOOD EXTRACTIVES AND WOOD DECAY [PDF]
The durability of following five wood species: Zelkova carpinifolia, Ulmus glabra, Pterocarya fraxinifolia, Carpinus betulus and Acer laetum were studied.

The oceans and seas receive coarse woody debris since the Devonian, but the kinetics of wood degradation remains one of many unanswered questions about the fate of driftwood in the marine environment. A simple gravimetric experiment was carried out at a monitoring station located at the exit of a steep, forested Mediterranean watershed in the Eastern ...

Mixed communities of fungi and bacteria have been shown to be more efficient in degrading wood than fungi alone. Some standardised protocols for quantification of the wood decay ability of fungi have been developed (e.g., DIN V ENV 12038:2002 as the ...

Dynamics of dead wood decay in Swiss forests
Background Forests are an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle and can be net sources or sinks of CO2, thus mitigating or exacerbating the effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

Bacteria in decomposing wood and their interactions with wood-decay fungi [PDF]
The fungal community within dead wood has received considerable study, but far less attention has been paid to bacteria in the same habitat. Bacteria have long been known to inhabit decomposing wood, but much remains underexplored about their identity and ecology. Bacteria within the dead wood environment must interact with wood-decay fungi, but again,

Wood-water relationships and their role for wood susceptibility to fungal decay [PDF]
AbstractWood in service is sequestering carbon, but it is principally prone to deterioration where different fungi metabolize wood, and carbon dioxide is released back to the atmosphere. A key prerequisite for fungal degradation of wood is the presence of moisture.
