(Springer India, 2015-06)
The influence of climatic and site fertility conditions affect wood quality from fast growing trees. The change in tree diameter, thickness of sapwood, heartwood percentage and bark and pith tissue, physical and mechanical ...
Quality of pellets made from agricultural and forestry crops in costa rican tropical climates
(North Carolina State University, 2015)
Pellets may be produced with different types of agriculture or forestry crops in Costa Rica. This work evaluated the energy, physical, and mechanical properties of pellets fabricated from 12 types of agricultural and ...
Impulso tecnológico para la producción, transformación y uso de la biomasa para energía y biomateriales a partir de los cultivos forestales lignocelulósicos en el contexto del mecanismo de desarrollo limpio
(Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. Escuela de Ingeniería Forestal. Centro de Investigación en Innovación Forestal (CIF), 2017)
En Costa Rica, el consumo eléctrico para uso residencial es equivalente al promedio mundial. Estimaciones recientes sobre su evolución muestran una tendencia al incremento, que pasará de 750 kWh/habitante por año a cerca ...
Modelaje del porcentaje de duramen, módulo de elasticidad dinámico y densidad de plantaciones forestales de Tectona Grandis L.f. de rápido crecimiento establecidas en Costa Rica (Documento I)
(Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. Escuela de Ingeniería Forestal. Centro de Investigación en Innovación Forestal (CIF), 2017)
La madera de duramen es la parte más importante del árbol en Tectona grandis L.f. Aunque existen varios modelos de predicción de volumen total (albura y duramen) en esta especie, no existen modelos de predicción de duramen ...
Effects of adding multiwall carbon nanotubes on performance of polyvinyl acetate and urea-formaldehyde adhesives in tropical timber species
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with hydroxyl groups (MWCNTs-OH) have been incorporated into polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives utilized in tropical wood gluing. The Raman ...
Effects of thinning on diameter, heartwood, density and drying defects of gmelina arborea
(Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos, 2015)
The effect of three levels thinning intensity in Gmelina arborea plantation on tree diameter, heartwood (diameter and percentage), wood density and drying defects (twist, crook, bow and check) was studied. Wood used for ...
The role of tropical dry forests for biodiversity, carbon and water conservation in the neotropics: lessons learned and opportunities for its sustainable management
(Springer-Verlag France, 2015-08)
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the current regional literature associated with tropical dry forest (TDF) along three main axes: biodiversity, carbon and water conservation in the neotropics. Our ...
Tree species composition, breeding systems, and pollination and dispersal syndromes in three forest successional stages in a tropical dry forest in Mesoamerica
(Mongaby.com e-journal, 2015)
Tropical dry forests (TDF) in Mesoamerica are highly endangered by the expansion of human activities (e.g., agriculture and cattle ranching). In contrast, TDF in Costa Rica have experienced outstanding restoration due to ...
Wood characterization of adult clones of Tecnona grandis growing in Costa Rica
(CERNE, 2015)
Tectona grandis is an important wood in the commercial market due to its

improve the conditions of reproduction and development ...
Surface chemical and color characterization of juvenile tectona grandis wood subjected to steam-drying treatments
(2016)
The color of Tectona grandis wood is an attribute that favors its commercialization, however, wood
color from fast-growth plantation trees is clear and lacks uniformity. The aim of this work is to
characterize steamed ...
