Evaluation of chemical compositions, air-dry, preservation and workability of eight fastgrowing plantation species in Costa Rica
(Revista Madera y Bosques, 2015)
Costa Rica has successfully planted various forestry species for wood production. However, the use of their wood is limited, due to poor
knowledge about their chemical properties, air-dry, preserved and workability ...
Physical properties and fiber dimension in Stem, Branch and root of Alder Wood
(Parlar Scientific Publications, 2015-01)
The aim of this study was to determine physical properties and fiber dimensions in stem, branch and root wood for alder (Alnus glutinosa L) species. For this purpose, three normal alder trees were selected from Khanican ...
Effects of adding nano-clay (montmorillonite) on performance of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives in Carapa guianensis, a tropical species
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015-06)
The aim of this study was to improve the bond strength resistance of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives modified with nano-clay (montmorillonite) with a tropical species of wood known to exhibit ...
Reducing warp and checking in 4 by 4 beams from small-diameter tropical species (tectona grandis, gmelina arborea, and cordia alliodora) obtained by turning the pith inside out.
(Forest Products Society, 2015)
Small-diameter logs from plantation trees are prone to warp and to produce checks due to the presence of juvenile wood, growth stresses, and asymmetric shrinkage during the drying process. In the present study, we analyzed ...
Guidelines for documenting and reporting tree allometric equations
(Springer-Verlag France, 2015-09)
Given the pressing need to quantify carbon fluxes associated with terrestrial vegetation dynamics, an increasing number of researchers have sought to improve estimates of tree volume, biomass, and carbon stocks. Tree ...
Mineral content in relation to radial position, altitude, chemical properties and density of persian ironwood
(Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos, 2015)
Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica) is native species from Iran and covers 10,54% of the commercial volume. Its wood structure and its chemical composition are affected by growth conditions. The aim of the study was to ...
Recommendations for the use of tree models to estimate national forest biomass and assess their uncertainty
(Springer-Verlag France, 2015-09)
Three options are proposed to improve the accuracy of national forest biomass estimates and decrease the uncertainty related to tree model selection depending on available data and national contexts. Introduction: Different ...
General, physical and mechanical properties, termites resistance and drying defects of lumber of Tectona grandis from plantations of different climatic and sites fertility condition
(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 ...
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 ...
