The sugars profile in Scots pine wood from different origins was examined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. The aim that can be achieved in the later research period is …
Wood is a renewable raw material which, managed rationally and in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, can be harvested without excessive exploitation of forest resources [Gustavsson et al., …
By means of a capacitance moisture meter, moisture fluctuations were studied on boards of Norway spruce (Picea abies), mounted as external cladding on a purpose-built experimental wall. Two causes of …
