This review summarises the knowledge about the ecology, breeding and management of
hybrid aspen (Populus× wettsteinii Hämet-Ahti= P. tremula L.× P. tremuloides Michx.). The …

Mozambique's large pool of tropical hardwoods is hampered by the prevalence of low-grade
tree species along with a lack of cost-effective processing technologies to improve timber …

Using a pilot-scale chamber with an interior capacity of 340 L, European aspen (Populus
tremula) wood boards were thermally modified (TM) under pressure in nitrogen at a …

Hybrid aspen (Populus tremula× P. tremuloides) is one of the fastest growing tree species in
Finland. During the mid-1990s, a breeding programme was started with the aim of selecting …

The rising demand for consistent, high quality, as well as high density wood species has
raised interest in different wood modification techniques. One modification method is wood …

In the present study, durability of untreated and thermally modified sapwood and heartwood
of Scots pine and Norway spruce was examined using a modified double layer test. Base …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of temperature and relative
humidity on the sorption characteristics and the drying rate of woody biomass, and to …

The use of heat-treated timber for building with wood is of increasing interest. Heat treatment
improves the durability and dimensional stability of wood; however, it needs to be optimized …

As a wood modification method, a combination of compression and thermal modification of
solid wood aims at increasing the durability and strength of wood products. The objective of …

The behaviour of industrially modified wood has not been systematically evaluated in
controlled exposure conditions. The objective of this study was to assess the equilibrium …
