“50 years Annals of Forest Science” : Wood products and green chemistry
By Erwin Dreyer On 31 January 2015 In Review paper
Green chemistry for and from wood has developed numerous industrial products, namely biosourced, green wood adhesives and preservatives, foams, composite matrices, laminates, hard and flexible plastics, flexible films, and abrasive grinding discs, and their number is still

Estimating solid wood properties using Pilodyn and acoustic velocity on standing trees of Norway spruce
Strong genetic correlations were observed between Pilodyn measurement and wood density, and between acoustic velocity and MFA. Combination of Pilodyn penetration and acoustic velocity measurements from standing trees can provide reliable prediction of stiffness of Norway spruce

Using thermal time models to predict the impact of assisted migration on the synchronization of germination and shoot emergence of oak (Quercus robur L.)
By Erwin Dreyer On 31 January 2015 In Research paper
Climate change will affect regeneration. Assisted migration is a climate change adaptation strategy that is associated with risks regarding transfer distance. Thermal time models can provide information about the synchronization of regeneration with seasons and the implications

Database of 478 allometric equations to estimate biomass for Mexican trees and forests
By Erwin Dreyer On 31 January 2015 In Research paper
We present a comprehensive database of 478 allometric equations to estimate biomass of trees and other life forms in Mexican forest and scrubland ecosystems. Accurate estimation of standing biomass in forests is a prerequisite for any approach

“50 years of Annals of Forest Science”: A synthesis on wood machining with a focus on French research in the last 50 years
Wood machining is compulsory both for timber separation and the surfacing of wooden objects. The anisotropy, cellular nature and multi-scale level organisation of wood make its cutting complicated to study. During the last 50 years, most of the
