It is well known that the xylem of gymnosperm trees consists mainly of tracheids and that the dimensions of these cells change over the growth season in temperate regions. When …
This project concerns the mechanisms involved in the interactions between xylem heartwood and brown rot fungi. Nowadays, where human impact on the environment is constantly increasing, it is necessary to …
Wood susceptibility to fungal degradation may be reduced by a range of non-toxic wood modification methods. Some modification methods alter wood-water interactions, which could be the reason for its improved …
Understanding wood-water interaction is crucial to predict and possibly manipulate dimensional changes and degradation of structural wood (Sandberg 2017; Thybring 2021; Thybring 2018). Raman Spectroscopy (RS) has been used with …
