Control of wood thermal treatment and its effects on decay resistance: a review
By Erwin Dreyer On 25 February 2016 In Review paper
An efficient use of thermal treatment of wood requires an in- depth understanding of the chemical modifications induced. This is a prerequisite to avoid problems of process control, and to provide high quality treated wood with accurately

Uncertainty assessment of large-scale forest growth predictions based on a transition-matrix model in Catalonia
By Erwin Dreyer On 17 February 2016 In Research paper
When predicting forest growth at a regional or national level, uncertainty arises from the sampling and the prediction model. Using a transition-matrix model, we made predictions for the whole Catalonian forest over an 11-year interval. It turned

Genetic diversity and hybridization in the two species Inga ingoides and Inga edulis: potential applications for agroforestry in the Peruvian Amazon
By Erwin Dreyer On 6 February 2016 In Research paper
Slash and burn practices affect tropical forests. Our results showed strong introgression between Inga ingoides and Inga edulis in the species contact area. Interspecific hybridization could be sought to improve yield and tolerance to flooding and further
