Natural resistance of wood from three forest species exposed to Pycnoporus sanguineus xylophagous fungus [PDF]

Advances in Forestry Science, 2019
Wood is subject to degradation by biological agents. Therefore, studies are necessary to ensure its appropriate use, avoid economic losses. The objective of this study was to assess the natural resistance of Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata), yellow ipe (Handroanthus serratifolius) and tauari (Couratari sp.) woods exposed under laboratory conditions to ...
