Wood decomposition as influenced by invertebrates
Biological Reviews, 2014ABSTRACTThe diversity and habitat requirements of invertebrates associated with dead wood have been the subjects of hundreds of studies in recent years but we still know very little about the ecological or economic importance of these organisms.

Modeling the propagation of drying and decomposition fronts in wood
Combustion and Flame, 2004Abstract Decomposition of moist wood is modeled using the shrinking unreacted-core approximation for a finite rate of reaction and the assumption of a thermally controlled evaporation of moisture across an infinitely thin front at constant temperature.

The Thermal Decomposition of Wood
Nature, 1923ONE hundred and fifty million tons of “wood waste” are produced annually, most of which, it is claimed, finds no useful application. Possible methods for the utilisation of this material are its destructive distillation to give valuable products, its employment directly as a fuel, its use in paper production, or its fermentation to produce ethyl ...

The role of ombrophilic dissipotrophic bacteria in wood decomposition
Biology Bulletin, 2016The summarized experimental data on ombrophilic bacteria isolated from dystrophic waters formed by a mycobacterial community during the process of spruce wood decomposition are presented. It was demonstrated that the ombrophilic microbial community was characterized by wide phylogenetic diversity at the initial stage of spruce wood decomposition by ...

Wood-Decomposition and Succession in Wood-Rotting Fungi
Indian Journal of Forestry, 2000The succession of wood-rotting fungi during the general pathways of fungal decomposition of wood is a common phenomenon in nature. Apart from the general pathways, a more stricter kind of succession called (successor-predecessor) also exists in some wood-rotting fungi especially polypores.

Rates of Coarse-Wood Decomposition
2003Although coarse-wood (> 5 cm in diameter) decomposition rates were not evaluated as a part of the Throughfall Displacement Experiment (TDE) effort, a previous dataset from early Walker Branch studies (Todd et al. 1976) was available to address coarse-wood decomposition under ambient conditions. These data are included in this volume because woody decay

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Wood decomposition is a fundamental process of the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems and differs under varying environmental conditions. However, it remains unclear whether exposure situation and litter removal affect wood decomposition, especially in subtropical forests. Therefore, we chose wood from four dominant species and carried out an experiment

Effects of salmon carcass decomposition on biofilm growth and wood decomposition
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 1999Salmon carcasses from spawning migrations can be retained in stream ecosystems behind woody debris, boulders, and other substrata where they contribute nutrients and organic matter to the stream biota. We hypothesized that carcasses would enhance algal and microbial growth and wood decomposition.

Decomposition includes two important basic processes: mechanical fragmentation of substrate and chemical mineralization of organic materials. In the varzea, these processes take place both in the aquatic and the terrestrial phases. In both phases, mineralization is accomplished mainly by bacteria and fungi.
