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.

Decay resistance variability of European wood species thermally modified by industrial process [PDF]

, 2015
Thermal modification is now considered as a new ecofriendly industrial wood modification process improving mainly the material decay resistance and its dimensional stability.

An Italian Research Culture Collection of Wood Decay Fungi

Diversity, 2020
One of the main aims of the University of Pavia mycology laboratory was to collect wood decay fungal (WDF) strains in order to deepen taxonomic studies, species distribution, officinal properties or to investigate potential applications such as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inoculum volume effects on competitive outcome and wood decay rate of brown- and white-rot basidiomycetes

Fungal ecology, 2020
Theory predicts that the energetic cost of competition between fungal mycelia might accelerate or retard the rate of wood decomposition, depending on various factors. To evaluate the effect of occupied territory on wood decay rate and competitive outcome,

Diversity, Abundance, and Distribution of Wood-Decay Fungi in Major Parks of Hong Kong

Forests, 2020
Wood-decay fungi are one of the major threats to the old and valuable trees in Hong Kong and constitute a main conservation and management challenge because they inhabit dead wood as well as living trees.

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.
