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 ...
Pellets Evaluation Made from Tropical-Climate Agricultural and Forestry Crops of Costa Rica with a Domestic Stove
(Springer Netherlands, 2015-12)
The present study shows the results of the evaluation of the pellets made from two forestry crops and eight agricultural crops in Costa Rica by employing a 50 kW domestic stove. Methods: The following variables were ...
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 ...
Landscape-scale controls on aboveground forest carbon stocks on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
(Public Library of Science, 2015-06)
Tropical forests store large amounts of carbon in tree biomass, although the environmental controls on forest carbon stocks remain poorly resolved. Emerging airborne remote sensing techniques offer a powerful approach to ...
Optical performance of finished and unfinished tropical timbers exposed to ultraviolet light in the field in Costa Rica
(Wood Material Science & Engineering, 2016)
This study evaluated wood color change (ΔE*) and the surface quality in 10 tropical wood species painted with three
finishes (composed of wax and polyurethane). Two weathering conditions were tested: natural weathering ...
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 ...
Characterisation of pellets made from oil palm residues in Costa Rica
(Journal of Oil Palm Research, 2016)
Presently, there are around 67 000 ha of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) in Costa Rica. The resulting post-harvest residues are not being used currently. These residues can be employed for generation of heat by means of ...
Application of the X-ray densitometry in the evaluation of the quality and mechanical properties of biomass pellets
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
The use of the X-ray technique and the X-ray densitometry to determine pellet particle distribution and to understand the biomass compaction and its effects in pellet properties has been limited. The present work evaluates ...
Evaluation of wood properties from six native species of forest plantations in Costa Rica
(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, ...
