Use of sonic tomography to detect and quantify wood decay in living trees. [PDF]

, 2016
Premise of the studyField methodology and image analysis protocols using acoustic tomography were developed and evaluated as a tool to estimate the amount of internal decay and damage of living trees, with special attention to tropical rainforest trees ...

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.

Diversity of decay resistance strategies of durable tropical woods species: Bocoa prouacencsis Aublet, Vouacapoua americana Aublet, Inga alba (Sw.) Wild [PDF]

, 2014
International audienceThe study of decay resistance in wood is of interest for wood end-users but also for the global carbon balance since wood biodegradation is a key driver of forest ecosystem functioning through its impacts on carbon and nutrient ...

Experimental evaluation of the effect of different design conditions on the risk of decay in solid wood exposed to outdoor climate

Materiales de Construccion, 2021
Wood decay have the greatest impact on in-service wood structural elements. In most cases, decay is associated with excessive accumulation of moisture in the wood.

Penetration and effectiveness of micronized copper in refractory wood species [PDF]

, 2016
The North American wood decking market mostly relies on easily treatable Southern yellow pine (SYP), which is being impregnated with micronized copper (MC) wood preservatives since 2006. These formulations are composed of copper (Cu) carbonate particles (
