MeMoWood 2013. Wood properties: future needs, measurement and modelling.
By Francis COLIN, Marie Pierre LABORIE & Mathieu FORTIN 1 Challenges regarding wood Wood products differ from other manufactured products by the fact that they originate from raw material developed in forest trees, according to complex biological

Variations in the natural density of European oak wood affect thermal degradation during thermal modification
By Erwin Dreyer On 18 July 2015 In Research paper
Thermogravimetric analysis, performed on small samples of earlywood (EW) or latewood (LW), indicated that earlywood is more susceptible to thermal degradation than latewood. These results suggest a direct relationship between wood density (which depends on the EW/LW

Modeling the above and belowground biomass of planted and coppiced Eucalytpus globulus stands in NW Spain
By Erwin Dreyer On 13 July 2015 In Research paper
Equations were developed for predicting above- and below-ground biomass of planted and coppiced Eucalyptus globulus in NW Spain. This is the first published work considering site effects on aboveground biomass andpredicting root biomass, for this species in

Annual meeting of the editors of Annals of Forest Science: new challenges for a journal in forest and wood sciences.
By Erwin Dreyer On 5 July 2015 In Editorial news
The editors of Annals of Forest Science met at Nancy, Thursday July 2, 2015. During the meeting, they exchanged ideas with the current Publisher, Springer, and with several specialists of Scientific and Technical Information from Inra, CNRS

Hardwood seedling establishment below Aleppo pine depends on thinning intensity in two Mediterranean sites
By Erwin Dreyer On 4 July 2015 In Research paper
Aleppo pine stands can be made more resilient to disturbances such as forest fires, by introducing native and resprouting hardwood species. Pine density impacts seedling establishment by modifying resource availability and abiotic stress. Under Mediterranean conditions, moderate

Influence of site, storage and steaming on Eucalyptus nitens log-end splitting
By Erwin Dreyer On 4 July 2015 In Research paper
Log-end splitting is one of the single most important defects in veneer logs. We show that log-end splitting in the temperate plantation species Eucalyptus nitens varies across sites and within-tree log position and increases with time in

Electrophysiological and behavioural responses of Ips typographus (L.) to trans-4-thujanol—a host tree volatile compound
By Erwin Dreyer On 4 July 2015 In Research paper
Spruce trees emit significant amounts of trans-4-thujanol, but the amount of this compound in bark decreases with tree age. Trans-4-thujanol acts as an efficient repellent for the bark beetle Ips typographus. Abstract The spruce bark beetle, Ips
