IBA efficiency on mini-cutting rooting from teak (Tectona grandis Linn F.) clones
(Revista Arvore, 2016)
This study aimed to evaluate IBA efficiency in mini-cuttings rooting based on four Tectona
grandis clones. Vegetative samples were collected in a hydroponic mini-clonal hedge in Verde Novo reforestation
company at Colider, ...
Effects on density, shrinking, color changing and chemical surface analysis through FTIR of Tectona grandis thermo-treated: Density, shrinking, color changing and chemical analysis by FTIR of the thermally-treated teak wood
(Forest Sciences, 2016)
Thermal-treatment wood is used as an option to improve durability of wood in recent years. This study
evaluated the effect of temperature in thermally treated Tectona grandis wood in density, shrinking, color
changing ...
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, ...
Performance of Two Hydrological Models in Predicting Daily Flow under a Climate Change Scenario for Mountainous Catchments in Northwestern Costa Rica
(International Mountain Society, 2015)
(Figure Presented) Tropical mountain regions contain the main headwaters of important rivers in Central America. We selected 2 contrasting catchments located in a mountainous region to evaluate the precision of daily flow ...
Kiln drying behavior utilizing drying rate of lumber from six fast-growth plantation species in Costa Rica
(Drying Technology, 2016)
The objective was to study the effect of the drying time and moisture content variations on the drying rate during kiln drying. The moisture content is a good predictor of the variation in drying rate; to determine the ...
Characteristics and properties of torrefied biomass pellets from Gmelina arborea and Dipterix panamensis at different times
(Revista Chapingo, Serie Ciencias Forestales y del Ambiente, 2016)
Torrefaction and pelletizing were studied in the generation of energy from
lignocellulosic residues to increase the energy properties of the biomass. The aim of
this study was torrefied sawdust from Gmelina arborea and ...
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 ...
Dinámica del crecimiento del bosque húmedo tropical, 19 años después de la cosecha bajo cuatro sistemas de aprovechamiento forestal en la Península de Osa, Costa Rica.
(Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica., 2012)
Within the project “Monitoring of forest ecosystems
to strengthen conservation strategies and forest use: a
contribution to Costa Rica carbon neutral initiative”, the
dynamic growth of the tropical rainforest was ...
Evaluation of biodeterioration and the dynamic modulus of elasticity of wood in ten fast-growing tropical species in costa rica exposed to field testing
(Statny Drevarsky Vyskumny Ustav, 2015)
In tropical regions, it is possible to produce a large variety of timber species in plantation conditions. However, wood from these trees has low natural durability. Biodeterioration and the dynamic modulus of elasticity ...
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 ...
