Factorial Study on the Impact of Climate Change on Freeze-Thaw Damage, Mould Growth and Wood Decay in Solid Masonry Walls in Brussels

open access: yesBuildings, 2021
Previous studies show that climate change has an impact on the damage risks in solid masonry facades. To conserve these valuable buildings, it is important to determine the projected change in damages for the original and internally insulated cases ...

The dark side of fungal competition and resource capture in wood: Zone line spalting from science to application

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2021
On wood surfaces and in planar section, zones lines appear as narrow and sharply delineated dark lines within wood visibly altered (“spalted”) by the decay process. In intact wood, zone lines define an irregular volume of decaying wood.

Changes in the Chemical Composition and Decay Resistance of Thermally-Modified Hevea brasiliensis Wood. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
In this study the effect of thermal treatment on the equilibrium moisture content, chemical composition and biological resistance to decay fungi of juvenile and mature Hevea brasiliensis wood (rubber wood) was evaluated. Samples were taken from a 53-year-

Bacteria Community Inhabiting Heterobasidion Fruiting Body and Associated Wood of Different Decay Classes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The microbiome of Heterobasidion-induced wood decay of living trees has been previously studied; however, less is known about the bacteria biota of its perennial fruiting body and the adhering wood tissue.

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

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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 ...

Wood decay at sea [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Decay Resistance of Surface Carbonized Wood

open access: yesMaterials, 2022
Surface carbonization, or charring, of wood is a one-sided modification method primarily intended for protection of exterior cladding boards. The heavily degraded surface acts as a barrier layer shielding the interior from environmental stresses, and as such acts as an organic coating.

Bacterial community succession in pine-wood decomposition

open access: yesFrontiers 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
