Сonstructional lumber from wood of pine dead trees

Influences of wood preservation, lumber size, and weather on field leaching of red pine lumber.

Alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) is a widely used wood preservative. This study evaluated leachate volume generation and contaminant leaching from ACQ-treated lumber during rainfall events in comparison to untreated lumber. The influences of wood preservation with ACQ, lumber size, and weather on leachate generation ratio and contaminant concentrations in wood leachate were investigated with fo...

Growth responses of mature loblolly pine to dead wood manipulations

Large-scale manipulations of dead wood in mature Pinus taeda L. stands in the southeastern United States included a major one-time input of logs (fivefold increase in log volume) created by felling trees onsite, annual removals of all dead wood above P10 cm in diameter and P60 cm in length, and a reference in which no manipulations took place. We returned over a decade later to determine how th...

Surface Roughness of Thin Wood Veneers Sliced from Laminated Green Wood Lumber

Freshly-felled Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolate), Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana) and Camphor Tree (Cinnamomum camphora) logs were reconstituted to form laminated lumber with moisture content above fiber saturation point by slicing, finger-jointing, gluing, and cold-pressing processes. The laminated lumber was then sliced into wood veneers, which were air-dried to about 15% moisture content....

Forest Management and the Dead Wood Resource in Ponderosa Pine Forests: Effects on Small Mammals

Changes in vegetation structure and composition affect habitat for wildlife. Species such as small mammals that are restricted to small home ranges and are relatively immobile may be most affected since it is more difficult to find and move to new habitat. In the southwestern United States, forest management treatments (thinning and prescribed burning) are being implemented to alter structure a...
