Comparison of the Decay Behavior of Two White-Rot Fungi in Relation to Wood Type and Exposure Conditions

Microorganisms, 2020
Fungal wood decay strategies are influenced by several factors, such as wood species, moisture content, and temperature. This study aims to evaluate wood degradation characteristics of spruce, beech, and oak after exposure to the white-rot fungi ...

Bacterial community succession in pine-wood decomposition

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Though bacteria and fungi are common inhabitants of decaying wood, little is known about the relationship between bacterial and fungal community dynamics during natural wood decay. Based on previous studies involving inoculated wood blocks, strong fungal

Effects of White and Brown Rot Decay on Changes of Wood Ultrastructure

BioResources, 2014
Fungal decay results in gradual decomposition of compounds of wood cell walls. Mass loss of wood is usually applied to characterize the decay. However, mechanisms of brown and white rot decay are significantly different, resulting in different ...

Carbon and nitrogen stocks in dead wood of tropical lowland forests as dependent on wood decay stages and land-use intensity

Annals of Forest Research, 2016
Rapid transformation of natural forests into other land-use systems in the lowlands of Sumatra, Indonesia, strongly reduces total aboveground biomass and affects nutrient cycling.

Co-culture Wood Block Decay Test with Bacteria and Wood Rotting Fungi to Analyse Synergism/Antagonism during Wood Degradation

Bio-Protocol, 2023
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 ...

Wood decay at sea [PDF]

Journal of Sea Research, 2016
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 ...

Dynamics of dead wood decay in Swiss forests

Forest Ecosystems, 2020
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.

Using Lignin Content, Cellulose Content, and Cellulose Crystallinity as Indicators of Wood Decay in Juglans mandshurica Maxim. and Pinus koraiensis

BioResources, 2014
The main chemical indicators for healthy wood and rotted wood at different decay levels in two species, namely Juglans mandshurica Maxim. and Pinus koraiensis, were preliminary analyzed.

Saproxylic Diptera assemblages in a temperate deciduous forest: implications for community assembly [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Saproxylic insects, those associated directly or indirectly with decaying wood for all or part of their life cycle, compose a large proportion of forest organisms.
