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 ...
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 ...
Biopulp from pineapple leaf fiber produced by colonization with two white-rot fungi: Trametes versicolor and Pleurotus ostreatus
(BioResources, 2016)
Trametes versicolor and Pleurotus ostreatus were used for the biopulping from pineapple leaf fiber (PALF). PALF substrate was subjected to T. versicolor for 2 to 6 weeks and to P. ostreatus for 4 to 8 weeks. The yields, ...

(Bosque, 2016)
This study details information about physical, chemical and mechanical properties, drying, preservation and workability of wood
from Cordia alliodora, Dipteryx panamensis, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Hieronyma alchorneoides, ...
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 ...
